...million purse makes him feel, he replies with ironic deliberation that "it gives me the inspiration to do a little more." The Fighters captures the skill and challenge of the sport, as well as its grand carnival spirit, as surely and lovingly as AJ. Liebling did in The Sweet Science. That is saying a great deal...
...goateed alchemist who turned fried chicken into gold, is trying to build a new chain of franchised restaurants. They are to be called "Claudia Sanders 'the Colonel's Lady' Dinner Houses"-so named after Sanders' wife, who is said by associates to be "as sweet as the Colonel is cantankerous."
