...Walter had a substantial influence on Wayne and his hockey game, and it wasn't long for Walter to notice that Wayne had some special talents. Growing up Wayne was always the best player in his age group, therefore he would play in many leagues above his age. While playing against players much older and bigger than he, he continued to dominate and set records that are untouchable.

...FREAKONOMICS A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything Revised and Expanded Edition Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner CONTENTS AN EXPLANATORY NOTE In which the origins of this book are clarified. vii PREFACE TO THE REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION xi 1 INTRODUCTION: The Hidden Side of Everything In which the book’s central idea is set forth: namely, if morality represents how people would like the world to work, then economics shows how it actually does work.
