Screaming headlines about stars arrested for everything from spousal abuse to firearms violations make it painfully clear that athletic talent isn’t enough to deal with the rigors of being a pro.

A team that finds itself in serious behavioral straits will often hire a famous person to help defuse the situation and help polish a tarnished franchise images—witness the Dallas Cowboys naming extremely-clean former All-Pro running back Calvin Hill, a Yale Divinity School graduate, as a special consultant. There is an accompanying commandment, handed down from on high by the czars of pro sports: If you’re an elite athlete, the role of role model is mandatory, not optional.

massive stars in our galaxy blows itself apart in a supernova explosion that
sends massive quantities of radiation and matter into space and generates shock
waves that sweep through the arms (a narrow extension of a larger area, mass, or
group) of the galaxy. The shock waves heat the interstellar gas, evaporate small

Eventually the nuclear fuel is exhausted, and the press
