1945- Present"Winning makes you think you'll always get the girl, land the job, deposit the million-dollar check, win the promotion and you grow accustomed to a life of unanswered prayers. Winning shapes the soul of bad movies and novels and lives. It is the subject of thousands of insufferably bad books and is often a sworn enemy... Loss is forever, more uncompromising teacher, cold-hearted but clear-eyed in its understanding that life is more dilemma than game and more trial than free pass."---Pat Conroy.
