MCLXXII.  The David


i. 	An Audience Goes Wild  
("there are a lot of people out there who care.")

He's slight and slim, but much magnetism can be
crammed into a small package.  When he bounds upon
the stage, almost anything can happen.  One thing
is predictable, though: The audience happily goes
wild.  Few physical giants, whether heavy-weight
champions or backfield gridiron specialists, can
generate such excitement even when they fell their
opponent or score a touchdown.  But all this
smiling young man is doing so far is just
cheerfully standing there, smiling in response to
the applause.
