	Paper Lion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paper Lion is a famous non-fiction book by prominent American writer George Plimpton.
		Plimpton pitched to a lineup of baseball stars in an All-Star exhibition, presumably to answer the question, "How would the average man off of the street fare in an attempt to compete with the stars of professional sports?" He chronicled this experience in his book, Out of My League.
		In Paper Lion, Plimpton joins the training camp of the 1963 Detroit Lions, on the premise of trying out to be the team's third-string quarterback.

		This paper discusses how an open society, as Karl Popper defines it, at its core is simply envisioned as a civilization in which the government progresses based on criticism sparked by individuals and their thoughts.
		The paper concludes that the speech is particularly impressive because of the strong personal engagement of the President who presents himself as a figure of moral leadership working for a just foundation, with regard to the basic values of the American society.
		The paper recommends that a better method of educational classification is used in Germany in which students are grouped based on their academic achievement, potential and personal characteristics to attend schools that prepare them for careers best suited for the individual rather than on their social classification.

		In the mid-'60s, Plimpton joined the Detroit Lions at their preseason camp as a 36-year-old rookie quarterback wannabe, and stuck with the club through an intra-squad game before the paying public a month later.
		More important than the actual time on the practice field is the look he provided into the inner workings of the Detroit Lions program; the life in training camp after the day's practice had ended and everyone was back in their rooms or out on the town.
		Reading about the lives of the Lions players, from the well known names of Alex Karras and Night Train Lane to the relative unknown players like Lucien Reeberg, adds a dimension to the league that went uncharted until this was published.

		It is a really charming and funny true story, starring Alan Alda as New York sportswriter George Plimpton, who on a special assignment from his magazine, tries out in an NFL training camp to be a quarterback.
		On his arrival he is greeted by Hall of Fame Lions coach Joe Schmidt, and other great Lions players like Alex Karras, Lem Barney, Roger Brown, Mike Lucci, John Gordy and Pat Studstill.
		There is very funny scene where George has to stand up in the canteen and sing his college song, which is Harvard.

		The film was based on the book about the true story of George Plimpton, who was never quite as skinny as Alan Alda, and who went to summer camp with the Detroit Lions to play quarterback and write about his experiences (he had pitched against baseball all-stars and boxed with a pro for earlier stories).
		When you watch this film today you can see how in a sense it was ahead of its time in showing the camaraderie and high jinx that exists in the locker room of a professional sports team (remember Jim Bouton's "Ball Four" had not come out yet).
		In this case, it is the final possession of the Lions in a pre-season game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

	Journalist George Plimpton dies at 76 / 'Paper Lion' author edited Paris Review
		New York -- George Plimpton, the New York aristocrat and literary journalist whose exploits in editing and writing seesawed between belles lettres and the witty accounts he wrote of his various madcap attempts to slip into other people's high-profile careers, died Friday at his home in Manhattan.
		As a "professional" third-string quarterback, he lost roughly 30 yards during a scrimmage with the Detroit Lions in 1963.
		Many of Plimpton's books dealt with his adventures, most notably "Out of My League" (baseball, 1961); "Paper Lion" (football, 1966); and "The Bogey Man" (golf, 1968).
