Some [people] are taller or shorter, lighter or darker, wider or narrower in the shoulders, longer and shorter in the leg; they have higher or lower natural levels of endurance, differing types of muscle cells, more or fewer muscle cells and fat cells. One popular method of categorizing all these various body types recognizes three fundamentally different physical types, called somatypes: : characterized by a short upper body, long arms and legs, long and narrow feet and hands, and very little fat storage; narrowness in the chest and shoulders, with generally long, thin muscles. : large chest, long torso, solid muscle structure, and great strength. : soft musculature, round found, short neck, wide hips, and heavy fat storage. Of course, no one is entirely one type but rather a combination of all three types. [Arnold Schwarzenegger with Bill Dobbins, . (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1998), p. 162.] 19. The wide boulevard paralleling the [train] tracks is full of Vietnamese men in army fatigues. Most are obviously no longer in the armed forces despite the fact that they are still in uniform. There are soldiers astride motorbike taxis. Soldiers pedaling cyclos. Soldiers sitting and drinking in cafés. Suddenly very nervous, I go directly to the first inn I see and take a room. I ask the owner about the soldiers in the street. She chuckles and says almost every male over sixteen has served in the army. Many wear their uniforms as a sign of patriotism, but mostly because the uniforms, often sold as army surplus, double well as durable work clothes. [Andrew X. Pham, . (New York: Picador, 1999), p. 219.] 20. Many of my earliest memories of the 1930s involve the virulent anti-Semitism in the world at that time. I am not just speaking of what was happening in tler’s Germany. I am speaking of what was very much happening here in America as well. I am Jewish, and my public schooling in Scranton, Pennsylvania, was filled with anti-Semitic events. For example, in fourth grade there was a kid who almost every day during recess would come up to me and call me “kike,” “moneylender,” “Christ killer,” and other prejudicial slurs. I would go over to him and call him tler, and we would start fighting with each other. The teachers always just told us to stop fighting. They did nothing about the anti-Semitism that they surely heard. I learned that I had to defend myself – not many others were stepping forward to offer help. [Ira L. Reiss, .
