  2. Monday • Copy the following paragraph… • DiMaggio burst upon the nation just nine years after Charles Lindbergh almost inadvertently invented celebrity of a degree– of a kind, really– never before experienced. DiMaggio played a team game but somehow knew, in the intuitive way an artist has of knowing things, that our rough-and-tumble democracy, leveling though it is, responds to an individual with an aura of remoteness. • -- George F. Will, “The First Michael Jordan”
