What is (Michaelangelo’s) David?
That monograph was written by A. Victor Coonin of Rhodes College.
Did you know: Eduardo’s father, Zeke Sevilla Jr., won Jeopardy!’s first-ever Seniors Tournament back in 1987. The Seniors Tournament was for contestants 50 and older, and was discontinued in the mid-1990s, as the show felt that those contestants were competitive enough in the main game, and the ratings for the tournament did not justify its existence.
