Hi Sue - missed y'all. I have no scientific view to offer either, but 
have been plagued for a year since I saw a certain tv replay of a Simpson 
intervew a few years back. I believe he was refereeing or moderating a 
big Tug-Of-War rope pull event. He was saying (paraphrase from memory) 
that tug of wars were extremely important and you just had to win it or 
lose face in some serious ways. The image of the tug of war one had to 
win stuck with me. Simpson was very much overdog and underdog oriented in 
his narrations.  And thus the world spins... or is it "tugs." best 
wishes, :-) LDMF.
