Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think young players, in particular, see that, recognize, 'This is what the coaches want,' because we recognize that.
