Someone once described Ken Lewis to me as the most competitive person in the history of the United States, including the Union Army.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My favorite athlete of all time would have to be Jim Thorpe.
I think the greatest all-around athlete ever was Jim Brown. He played lacrosse, basketball and ran track at Syracuse. He played professional football for the Browns.
When I grew up Carl Lewis was still running, Maurice Greene was running - he was that figure I see, like Michael Johnson. I really wanted to look up to the fast guys - so those two guys were some of the guys I looked up to.
Morgan, Lewis is a very large firm now, but it was not quite as big then. It was exciting for an associate in those days, because you got good and varied assignments and terrific training.
Obviously, the person who had most influence on my career was Ken Thompson.
The John Lewis I know is a peacemaker.
Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler and I used to argue for hours about who the best athletes are. I thought football players were better overall.
One of my major competitors was Harold Smith. Smith beat me in 1977. I was loafing during that competition.
I think a lot of Jim Thorpe, the Olympian, and his accomplishments.
'Lincoln' is impressive enough to almost make you forget how much Daniel Day-Lewis dominates the endeavor.
