...They were there for the co-main events: Sugar Shane Mosley versus Jose Luis Cruz and Marco Antonio Barerra versus Robbie Peden. The Chavez/Johnson fight was the undercard. It was clear that Chavez was going to win the fight. Into the early seconds of the 11th round, he had thrown more than 900 punches, more than 400 of which had landed, a significant number to Johnson's head. Until then, though trailing on all the judges' scorecards, Johnson had not looked as if he was in physical danger. In fact, he trashed-talked Chavez at the end of the middle...

It would be nice if every student at Harvard knew this, because it would take away some of the animosity athletes are subject to from pretentious non-athletes.

...Some business owners, like Gregg Reggio, owner of 11 restaurants in the New Orleans area, say the obstacles are huge. He's swept up, thrown out rotting food, and hopes to reopen his place Zea Rotisseries Grill in the French Quarter soon. But now he's facing the real headaches: Where will he find customers? No tourists are allowed in the city. Where will he house his workers? That is, if he can get them back from Tucson and Dallas and other cities where they have scattered. Will he find willing workers with the construction business paying top dollar...
