Bill
Curiosity
Michiko Kakutani reviewed Tony Blair’s memoir:
‘Of Bill Clinton and the Monica Lewinsky scandal he suggests that the president’s behavior “arose in part from his inordinate interest in and curiosity about people,” adding, “In respect of men, it was expressed in friendship; in respect of women, there was potentially a sexual element.”’
I’m not sure if I will read Blair’s book, but this quote made me smile. Yes, sex is the continuation of curiosity by other means.

Please do not tell this to bishop Vangheluwe (cheap joke, sorry)
Next time I´ll think twice before I say "I'm just curious"
You were in my dream again last night Arnon. I am feeling new.
Horny
What Blair is actually saying, politely, is that Bill Clinton is a horny devil who runs after every attractive piece of skirt he encounters, and that Bill is not gay.
Of course, this is a completely new insight into Bill's psyche.
Analogous: "No battle is worth fighting except the next one."
Arnon
With all your travelling, i guess you're the first person to travel back in time and i already found some footage. You'll be winning one of the most heroic gold medals in Olympic history! (and whats most impressive, without wearing your glasses, reason for the uneasy start?) (and of course with a cap for cover)

Arnon , a winner, historical, heroic. A little cliché, don't you think so?
I think of Arnon as a juicy, delicious peach. Only the skin can cause some irritation.

I think he is racing for dominance who is the best writer of all time. Its interesting: These eight athletes are all writers on a timetravel. Some writers we maybe dont even know, surely i dont know. But that Arnon beats the Russian by a noselength makes me think he has beaten Dostojevski. Which is not so difficult, for Fjodor is an epilectic timetraveller (which he shows at the finish with a sudden attack)
More evidence
Also from the sentence "Dave Wottle, Ganton Ohio, United States of America, winner of the big gold medal on the Munich Games of nineteenhundred seventy two" you can make the name Arnon Grunberg (you dont even have to spell out 1972).
