When I arrived the winkers--as they call themselves--were gathered around some three-by-six double-felt mats that serve as their playing fields. A jock with thumb muscles as taut as steel shot me a cold look from behind his thick glasses. There wasn't another well-toned muscle on his body, but those thumbs were the stuff of awe. Arye Gittleman's thumbs are the biggest and most skilled in the game. For those who don't know already, Gittleman--MIT '83--has a rippling dynamism...
