conflict, position"So it's a strife here, in a way, between position--between the CEO and the top salesman; between the principal and the best teacher; between Miller Huggins, the manager, and Babe Ruth, the best baseball player who ever lived; between the person who can really do it, and the person who is in charge. Those are incommensurable excellences, and then and now they often come into conflict. So here--that is the rage within the rage, the conflict within the conflict, that Homer is interested in chronicling."1 |
