...implications for times to come. If he thinks that he can unconstitutionally and unlawfully abduct Nawaz Sharif and send him back to Jeddah [in Saudi Arabia], well, there are very serious ramifications which we will watch unfold in the coming days and weeks. It cannot happen that he can sidestep a political contest for presidential elections by cutting a deal with Benazir Bhutto, and sideline Nawaz Sharif and other parties.

...will tell the narrative. From the beginning of the bout, De La Hoya's red-colored shoes strided toward the elusive Mayweather. De La Hoya's aggressive strategy was born on the belief that he needed to engage his opponent in a brawl, to bull Mayweather, who tends to sidestep his opponents with ghost-like body movements. De La Hoya, an angular man who stands two inches taller than Mayweather, wanted to get in close and use his power and size to overwhelm his opponent whose gymnast-like body is difficult...
