[Magdalen] stuck at home today

[Charles Wohlers]

That's Katherine Switzer with the 261 number. You can just see Jock Semple 
behind her shoulder. The others are fighting off Jock. At that time it was 
widely believed that a woman wouldn't be able to finish a marathon, and, if 
she did, she'd likely become sterile or something. How stupid folks were 50 
years ago - and I wonder how stupid people will think we are 50 years from 
now.

Can't get over it.
