...certainly seemed that way. In 1998, when he was just 19, Pacquiao won a world flyweight title. Two years later, he added a world superbantamweight title. But it wasn't until manager Nazario hooked him up with Freddie Roach, a respected boxing trainer in Los Angeles, that Pacquiao began to reach his potential. "I could tell there was something inside him, but he had not yet discovered it because no one was teaching him," Nazario recalls. "That's why I decided to bring him to the States."

Sadly, at last Thursday’s Boggle tournament, flyweight Boggle heavyweight Christine C. Yokoyama ’04 was unable to bring the FM team to victory. FM faced handicaps from the start, namely intoxication from consumption of dangerously fluorescent wine coolers and the conspicuous absence of Gossip Gizzuy and his two points’ worth of gratuitous letters. But the FM team did not go gentle into the good nizzight: Aforementioned trash-talker Benjamin D. Mathis-Lilley ’03 fought the good fight, asking if S-E-I-N-E was a word, or just...

LITTLE SHOT In the ever escalating race to build a smaller camera, Minolta's new DiMage X ($399) is the current flyweight champ. It's the size of a deck of cards, weighs in at just 4.8 oz., stands about 3 in. tall but takes relatively hefty 2-megapixel pictures. It can also shoot a 35-sec. movie and comes with a 168-MB media storage card that holds a whopping 130 images. It's the perfect pocket partner for big shots...
...into the sequence as Cremaster 2. On view at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minn., through Oct. 17, the 79-min. film and the morgue-cold installation of objects that accompanies it (a mirrored saddle, miniature mountains done in salt, white barbells of salt and epoxy resin, flags, flyweight sketches and various film stills) are loosely about the murderer Gary Gilmore, who was executed by firing squad in Utah in 1977. But to say that they are simply about Gilmore is a little like saying Picasso's Guernica is a picture about a horse...
