...embodies the zeal of the sport's athletes, a quality that has struck a chord with both jaded fans and high-profile trainers. Former heavyweight champion Greg Page says women are more fun to watch and more rewarding to coach because "they work harder." Hannah Fox, a married mother of one and a former junior-welterweight champion, owns two Subway restaurants in Las Vegas and trains with Page. She rises at 5 a.m., runs four miles, goes to the gym for strength training, manages the eateries from 10 to 3, spars in the afternoon, then goes home and makes dinner...

It still sounds good, but there's something sad about listening to him playing an 18-minute song with only one chord now, 30 years after he convinced everyone else to play that...
...ever handed. He says he expected his decision to go to war in Chechnya, made virtually that August day, would ruin his political career. But his cold-blooded prosecution of the war to stamp out Chechen "terrorism" and bring the recalcitrant republic back under Russian control struck a chord among the country's dispirited electorate...
