<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=343095307-24072004>I found it
"cool" when Manchester United beat my home town soccer club Bayern
Munich</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=343095307-24072004>by 2 to 1
after the Germans led them by one goal before the last minute of the game,
</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=343095307-24072004>and then MU
equalized </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN
class=343095307-24072004>and scored the winning goal a few seconds later. I did
not like it </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=343095307-24072004>but had to
admit </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN
class=343095307-24072004>that that was "cool" or "eiskalt" (= ice-cold), as we
say in German. It</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=343095307-24072004>comes close
to "merciless" and is said of a "professional" who wins.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=343095307-24072004>Another
example is how Lance Armstrong is winning this year's Tour de
France:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

cool, merciless.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

"warm" has a chance. It's not cool to be warm-hearted,<BR>>or have a warm
smile. "Cool" implies, I think, an emotional distancing and<BR>>probably lack
of vulnerability, and personal power.<BR>> <BR>><BR><BR>I have
always understood "cool" as linked to and implying "no sweat", <BR>something
good which can be attained without great effort - a concept <BR>which obviously
didn't arise here in Britain except on a rare hot day <BR>like today.<BR><BR>--
