[Vision2020] Boxing

[Jacob Spencer]

Dear Visionaries,

I think I accidently sent this only to Ms. Huskey, my apologies.  I was
wondering if anyone knows whether the "Bonhom Boxing Club" is affiliated
with Logos school, or if they are simply renting gym space from the
school?

Dear Visionaries,
At first I was puzzled that our local *Christian* school would sponsor
a 
fight night.  Why would anyone pay to watch youngsters (and older
"heavy 
weights") demonstrated how adroitly they can turn the other cheek?  On
the 
other hand, what kind of person could describe this abusive spectacle
as a 
"night of fun?"
Then it struck me that Joyce Carol Oates had it exactly right. "[Boxing
is] a 
celebration of the lost religion of masculinity all the more trenchant
for 
its being lost."  Joyce Carol Oates On Boxing Doubleday 87, quoted in 
Newsweek 9 Mar 87.
