Could not understand one of their names.. There is a very interesting chapter in the book"Freakonomics"that discuses this unfortunate trend that is endemic in our country. One story is about a man who had two sons. The first one he named Winner, and the second one, Loser. You'd think you could predict the results of this name-arrangement,but you'd be wrong. But the end of the story, and the rest of the book, makes it well worth reading. Some of the chapter's have strange, but curious titles. to paraphrase: "What do Sumo Wrestlers and teachers have in common?" Read the book. I recommend it highly.
