HOOPER PROJECT: Congrats to Matthew Hand, again, for beheading the final Hooper before Easter Break. Of course it was Jesse Owens who won four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics -- in the 100 meter dash, the 200 meter dash, the long jump, and the 4 x 100 meter relay. This was a major blow to Adolf Hitler (that Uber-Hooper) and his Nazi regime because their ideology was based on the absolute inferiority of non-German races, Africans in particular. Owens, because he was black, shattered Hitler's myth of Aryan supremacy.

Today, a Supreme Hooper in three parts. Five points to the first Comp I student who gavels the following Hoopers on the head: (a) How many people sit on the United State Supreme Court?, (b) Who is the current Chief Justice of the United States?, and (c) What is the judicial concept of "stare decisis"? Oye! Oye!
