MIS president finds life path on racetrack - (USA)
It’s a late summer evening in Wilmington, N.C., circa 1991. Roger Curtis once again sits before his wobbly card table. To his right, a pile of phone bills begin to resemble Pisa. To his left, a bowl of macaroni and cheese acts as a constant reminder of sacrifices made. Some 18 years later, Curtis is the president of Michigan International Speedway (MIS). Curtis could never be a NASCAR driver, however, his life is made up of so many forks in the road, his résumé took the life of a Redwood. Af

Birth of the 'Culture Wars' - Lee Iacocca, Joe Bageant and George Carlin - (USA)
I Was There at the Birth Stephen Pizzo - News for Real I was there when it began, the ugliness, the ever-so thinly-veiled racism, the attacks on the press. It was August, 1992. The place, the Houston Astrodome. The occasion, the Republican nominating convention. First some spacial data; the press gallery inside the enormous dome was to the right of the podium, about 15 feet above the convention floor. Animosity towards the working press was apparent from the moment I stepped inside.

I was hoping I would be delightfully surprised when Maurice and I arrived there but we couldn’t really find an old section of the town and it stretched out in either direction along the freeway with

Meet an American Indian: Jenna Plumley - (USA)
Sports in the modern age have been an avenue to hero status for America’s racial minorities. The non-white athlete who can outperform white folks at their own games... that evokes a special kind of pride. Jack Johnson, Jesse Owens and Jackie Robinson are damn-near mythic. Roberto Clemente, among Puerto Ricans, is a saint. Chicano musicians wrote songs about Fernando Valenzuela. It applies to Jews as well; check out the Hank Greenberg documentary. And when American Indian activist Dennis Banks
