The Last Naked Man
It occurred to me last night that I haven't seen a naked guy in 35 years, not since the fall of 1974. I was watching TV last night: "Shaq Vs." In the final episode of the show, Shaq took on Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps in three swim races (best 2 out of 3 wins). O'Neal won the first race. Phelps swam 50 yards freestyle (with a five second head start) and Shaq swam only 25 yards.
In the fall of 1974, when I was a senior at Penn State, I took a swimming course at the McCoy Natatorium. The locker room was full of naked guys, including myself.
For all my friends who think I'm gay, I have to say that's a pretty sorry record. For a gay man not to have seen a man naked in thirty-five years is an unheard of career in itself.
My mentor Bob Strauss told me about the time, while he was Ambassador to Russia, he saw James Baker naked in a sauna in Moscow, getting beaten by some twigs. Baker was Secretary of State. Of course, James Baker went to Princeton. But I should point out that he was on the rubgy team, not the Princeton football team. Whatever that means.
James Baker knows something about pools. To promote greater safety in pools and spas, Baker helped form an advocacy group, which led to the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool And Spa Safety Act (15 USC 8001).
