In yesterday's magazine, the writers to the editor included one Sam Abrams, who quoted Walt Whitman at length:
fierce and athletic girls ... are not one jot less than I am,/They are tann'd in the face by shining suns and blowing winds,/Their flesh has the old divine suppleness and strength,/They know how to swim, row, ride, wrestle, shoot, run, strike, retreat, advance, resist, defend themselves,/They are ultimate in their own right -- they are calm, clear, well-possess'd of themselves.
