...winner-take-all $10 prize money (losers get a couple of free drinks). Salas, a railway shipping worker, comes to fight "to get the fears inside of me out." Ranare, who grew up in the South Bronx, came to Arizona a year ago to beat a heroin habit, which, happily, he did. "My idea," he says, "is to work out my frustrations from work and from the old lady." Though the club tries to match fighters evenly, any two people who want to fight each other, no matter what their experience or size, are allowed...

Moving slowly, he rams the rear end of the station wagon where his college professor wife sits in the front seat giving a farewell blow job to her student lover. One of his sons...
...forays back to the wilds of forgotten Brooklyn, where he doesn't mind stumping amidst a sea of pug noses and red hair, the governor hasn't been able to charm all those blue-collar and ethnic voters who grew up voting Democratic but wouldn't mind breaking the habit. Given the chance to vote for Duryea--a moderate conservative, almost a city dweller, a man who says he understands the city and its needs--the Carey-haters may well bolt the ticket with hardly a twinge of partisan guilt...
