...Hard work helped, too. Hassanzade began a training regime that he still follows today: two-hour sessions six nights a week with Cardoso, supplemented by nearly ten additional hours per week of running and jumping rope on his own. The neophyte to savate - which permits blows with the feet as well as the hands - became one of its fastest-rising competitors. Less than two years after he discovered the sport, Hassanzade launched his run for the national junior crown last November, bagging his first of seven straight victories in just two rounds.

Of course, this plan grossly underestimated the impact of 1.8 million people on the Mall. Instead, our “stroll” became a two-hour trek, over the freeway, past the Purple Tunnel of Doom, climbing barriers, and getting crushed in the masses. But we had our moments: every now and then, someone would stand on a wall and yell “Give...
Wine Country: A Day in Beaujolais With its medieval villages, rolling hills and lanes of lush Gamay vines, Beaujolais - which wine writer Rudolph Chelminski likens to a "Hollywood set for an ideal vineyard region" - is well worth the two-hour train ride from Paris. Visit Domaine Lapierre and the vineyards of the other members of the Morgon Gang of Four in Villié-Morgon, where you can sip and sleep at Domaine Jean Foillard's bed and breakfast, tel: (33) 4 74 04 24 97, overlooking the vine-covered Côte de Py hills...
