520    "About to turn ninety, Bob Cousy, the Hall of Fame Boston 
       Celtics captain who led the team to its first six 
       championships on an unparalleled run, has much to look 
       back on in contentment. But he has one last piece of 
       unfinished business. The last pass he hopes to throw is to
       close the circle with his great partner on those Celtic 
       teams, fellow Hall of Famer Bill Russell, now 84. These 
       teammates were basketball's Ruth and Gehrig, and Cooz, as 
       everyone calls him, was famously ahead of his time as an 
       NBA player in terms of race and civil rights. But as the 
       decades passed, Cousy blamed himself for not having done 
       enough, for not having understood the depth of prejudice 
       Russell faced as an African-American star in a city with a
       fraught history regarding race..." -- Book flap.
