Fighting Through Adversity

  • "� There's Hurricanes in Florida ...": This is line from a Kingston Trio song, the "Merry Minuet," which was written by Sheldon Harnick:
    They're rioting in Africa. They're starving in Spain.
    There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.

    The whole world is festering with unhappy souls.
    The French hate the Germans. The Germans hate the Poles.
    Italians hate Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch
    and I don't like anybody very much!

    But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
    for man's been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud.
    And we know for certain that some lovely day
    someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away.

    They're rioting in Africa. There's strife in Iran.
    What nature doesn't do to us will be done by our fellow man.

  • "� Gauntlet ...": From Merriam-Webster's Third Unabridged:
    A glove designed to protect the hand from injury: as a : a reinforced glove used with armor during the middle ages and evolving with such armor to become in the 14th century a covering of small minutely articulated steel plates for the whole back of the hand, fingers, and thumb.
