...film opens with the voice-over narration of a Puerto Rican male transsexual who says she is surprised every time she wakes up to find out she is really a woman. Finally she has the body of the sex she always felt...

The Justice Department and Congress are currently investigating Espy's association with Tyson, prompted by accusations that he accepted plane trips and football tickets from the chicken producer.

The quasi-mystical Serb disdains star quality for teamwork and emphasizes the Latin strategy of zigzagging moves over the British long-ball style. Above all, he makes his players believe in themselves against the world. "He's a mix of Richard Simmons and Yoda," says Lalas. "It requires a great leap of faith to follow him. Sometimes you have no idea what he is saying." Typical Yoda quote: "We don't know what...
