“Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans”
John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, 1961.
David Hill, a noted gambling writer and historian, invited me to join a sports-betting podcast a few years back. It was to be held at a studio in Brooklyn, New York. I left central Pennsylvania by Amtrak, headed to Penn Station, then took a cab to the studio. When I arrived at the studio, I met another individual, Isaac Rose Berman, who was also involved in the podcast.
The first thing I noticed about Isaac was that he looked quite young; he was 24 at the time. Secondly, during the recording, I noted he was an excellent speaker and clearly quite intelligent. Strikingly so. More importantly, he was not just factual and informed; he conveyed wisdom as he discussed sports betting.
