...brandishing a sizeable arma lusoria (wooden sword) and aiming strategically at the stomach of his lanista (trainer), my 12-year-old son Theo cuts an impressive swath as a gladiator-in-training.

Sloan, for her part, has been boosting the new business by hosting parties...

Sometimes, you're supposed to register online with the campaign or pick up free tickets (at a campaign office or a less likely location, such as the bike shop where I found tickets last summer.) But in my experience (five caucus seasons to date) registration and tickets are less a requirement than a way to capture your contact information...
