"The quickness with which all the 'stuff' from childhood can reduce adult siblings to kids again underscores the strong and complex connections between brothers...It doesn't seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we've traveled. Our brothers and sisters bring us face to face with our former selves and remind us how intricately bound up we are in each other's lives." JANE MERSKY LEDER

"Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure." ALDOUS HUXLEY

Right: My nephew, NEIL, and I at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You can see by Neil's haircut that he tries to be just like his Uncle Steve.

"Each generation's job is to question what parents accept on faith, to explore possibilities, and adapt the last generation's system of values for a new age." FRANK PITTMAN

My nephews, TROY and NEIL, and I clowning around at the race track.

"We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country." THOMAS JEFFERSON

"It is fortunate that each generation does not comprehend its own ignorance. We are thus enabled to call our ancestors barbarous." CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER

POSTSCRIPT "When I can no longer bear to think of the victims of broken homes, I begin to think of the victims of intact ones." PETER DEVRIES
