He longs for authority, for i>cwcr
to boss and lay down rules of con

You know that a. square, projecting
chin bespeaks combative and destruc
tive qualities. Its owner will smash
obstacles whether physical or mental.
In physical combat this type goes in
to win by fair or foul means. He at
tacks or defends with whatever
weapon he can lay his hands upon.
In argument he will more likely use
the broadsword than the rapier, but
he will not hesitate to wound to the
quick if necessary to win.
He is a good fellow to let alone,
unless you really are interested in a
fierce contest. He takes credit for
all the good things tha'. come about,
but blames the miscues on others.
