...rights activists and the Vatican has moved into the realm of the dead. With 19th century Anglican convert Cardinal John Henry Newman, arguably the greatest Catholic thinker from the English-speaking world, moving ever closer to sainthood, trouble is brewing over where his final resting place should be. The London-born historian and theologian died in 1890 and, following the instructions in his will, was buried beside his lifelong friend and fellow convert Ambrose St. John, who had died 15 years earlier.

But I realized this is the drug of the sport: there is always one more fight." The London-born pugilist says he'll hang up his gloves for a job at a sports management agency. And if that doesn't work out, perhaps George Foreman could use someone lean and mean to help hawk grills...
