...that fight, more was taken out in this. "It hurts. That's another one staring me in the face." But he praised Hagler--"The man showed his greatness"--and held out hope for himself at 26. "This is not the end for me. I'm a winner." In a glut of divisions, he yet holds a superwelterweight title--"nothing to cry over," as Hagler said, though not much occasion for joy.

The Confederation of French Wine Cooperatives recently asked the European Union for permission to convert 66 million gallons of wine--333 million bottles--into industrial-grade alcohol, including ethanol for French cars. Why? A large grape harvest in 2004 has fed a glut in the French wine market, which is already reeling from tumbling demand.
