　　Every four years, the best athletes from countries around the world come together in the spirit of peace and friendship to compete in the Olympic Games.With the lighting of the Olympic flame the games begin — the Olympic spirit kept alive.That flame has been brought many thousands of miles by relay runners all the way from Olympia,in Western Greece, where the ceremony began 2700 years ago.

　　This simple ceremony, and the lighting of the torch, is the spark that renews the Olympic flame wherever the games are played.The games symbolized the early Greeks’ ideal of man’s unity,their vision of peace, and of human perfection.The Olympic began as a religious ceremony.The First Games in recorded history took place in the year 776 BC.This was the time of the Western Zhou period in China.All the Greek city-states participated.

　　States at war with each other would end hostilities for the duration of the Games.The Olympic motto is universally accepted as “Swifter, Higher, Stronger.”One athlete from the games host country takes an oath at the Opening Ceremony on behalf of all the competing athletes:In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic games,respecting and abiding by the rules which govern them,in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honor of our teams.”

　　In ancient times,winners were crowned with wreaths of the sacred olive. Their names were proclaimed throughout the Greek city-states.Things have not changed much in this regard.Today, first place winners are awarded gold medals,second place winners, silver, and third place gets the bronze.And, as in ancient times, Olympic stars become internationally famous.Let us hope that this living experience of peace and friendship between all the peoples of the world that began in Olympia, in ancient Greece, will continue for many centuries to come.

　　By the mid-nineteenth century,the term icebox had entered the American language,but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States.The ice trade grew with the growth of cities.Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals,and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat,fresh fish, and butter.

　　After the Civil War (1861-1865),as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars,it also came into household use.Even before 1880 half of the ice sold in New York,Philadelphia, and Baltimore,and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago,went to families for their own use.

　　This had become possible because a new household convenience,the icebox, a precursor of the modern refrigerator,had been invented.Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose.In the early nineteenth century,the knowledge of the physics of heat,which was essential to a science of refrigeration,was rudimentary.The commonsense notion that the best icebox was onethat prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken,for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling.

　　Nevertheless,early efforts to economize ice included wrapping up the ice in blankets,which kept the ice from doing its job.Not until near the end of the nineteenth centurydid inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer,Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market,his butter, still fresh and hard in neat,was worth one-pound a brick.One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained,was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool.

　　The Shadowland of Dreams

　　Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there’ a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at the typewriter.“You’ve got to want to write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”

　　The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune,there are thousands more whose longing is never requited.Even those who succeed often know long periods of neglect and poverty.I did.When I left a 20-year career in the Coast Guard to become a freelance writer,I had no prospects at all.What I did have was a friend with whom I’d grown up in Henning, Tennessee.George found me my home —a cleaned-out storage room in the Greenwich Village apartment building where he worked as superintendent.

　　It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.Immediately I bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however,I still hadn’t received a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.

　　But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering,“What if?” I would keep putting my dream to the test —even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the Shadowland of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
