    The mind is a strange thing, men. We must begin by asking it..."What is losing?" Losing is a disease...as contagious as polio. Losing is a disease...as contagious as syphilis. Losing is a disease...as contagious as bubonic plague ... attacking one ... but infecting all. But curable. Now, I want you to imagine ...you are on a ship at sea ...on a vast...
