...months leading up to the super welterweight (154-pound) clash, motor-mouthed "Pretty Boy" Mayweather - who outside the ring carries $30,000 in pocket money and decorates himself with $1 million in diamond-encrusted jewelry - embraced the role of Iago, continuously woofing at his opponent. Seeking to irritate De La Hoya and fire up the partisan crowd, Mayweather came into the arena cheekily wearing a white sombrero and the red and green colors of Mexico on his trunks; his corner men wore T-shirts emblazoned with the words "Mayweather Loves Mexico." Meanwhile De La Hoya, the "Golden Boy" the superstar...
...sense, the theme of director Curtis Hanson's movie, which he co-wrote with Eric Roth (Munich, The Good Shepherd) - a writer with a gift for patient, novelistic complexity - is the education of Huck Cheever.

He speaks daily on the phone with his father Charles, who in the 1960s was the only white physician in Crist's hometown of St. Petersburg to volunteer to help sports teams at segregated, all-black high schools--and who advised his son during the Terri Schiavo spectacle in 2005, when...
...commend Kluger for a very articulate piece on an extremely important topic. Many people in the media have dismissed him as a loner and a psychopath. While he was both, such an attitude is not only callous (to the innocent boy he once was, not to the monster he became), but it is also very dangerous. Without reflecting nonjudgmentally on the causes of Cho's psychosis and thereby learning to identify and treat individuals who might be on a similar path, such horrific incidences will occur again...
