Well, "glory", this has to depend on how the person who receives the honors
perceives the honors.  I hardly think that Cray Blitz was a success with the
team members running around with "glory" on their minds, it has to have been
from allot of hard work on something they were all interested in doing.

Which oddly enough sounds like you average 'Yes' album, I guess I must be
aggreeing (damn it!)
