From today’s NY Times:
It’s a safe wager that professional poker players aren’t very good writers, but it’s also better than even money that adept writers are, or could be, cunning poker players, for they come to understand motive and risk and instinctively realize that you can’t win if you don’t bet. James McManus bet big and won. His ”Positively Fifth Street,” an exhilarating chronicle of the 2000 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, will go on the shelf with the classic that inspired it, ”The Biggest Game in Town,” A. Alvarez’s account of the 1981 event.
I seem to recall teaching my logic students that All Fs are not Gs and Some Gs are Fs can’t be true together. Maybe it’s time to remove that part of the textbook.
