Jaime Escalante (1930-2010) was featured in a movie called "Stand and Deliver." He was played by the actor Edward James Olmos. That movie and Mr. Escalante's example of loving toughness played a big role in my becoming a teacher.
Mr. Escalante, you will be missed.

In Steven Pressfield's book Gates of Fire, the term "akoniti" was used when an opponent was defeated so thoroughly and quickly that literally "no dust" was raised in the ring.
