Roger Kahn on boxing? It just doesn't sound right.

Kahn is better known for writing about baseball. His book on the Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1940s and 1950s, The Boys of Summer, is still considered to be one of the finest pieces of literature ever written about the game. His new book on boxer Jack Dempsey and his reign as the world's heavyweight champion proves, however, that Kahn is worth reading under any circumstances. The 1920s are sometimes called the first Golden Age of Sport, and Dempsey was one of the period's main heroes. World War I had ended, and as leisure time increased, Americans focused more attention on spectator sports. Dempsey ranked alongside Babe Ruth, Bill Tilden, and Bobby Jones as headliners of the decade.

According to Kahn, boxing exploded in the public consciousness while Dempsey was champion. Twenty-thousand fans looked on as Dempsey took the title from Jess Willard in 1919. His last championship bout, the famous Long Count fight against Gene Tunney, was witnessed by an estimated 125,000 and followed by millions of others. Along the way, Dempsey defended his title a few times, divorced one woman, married another, starred in some movie serials, and was an attraction wherever he went.

This biography is a little more personal than one might expect. Kahn interviewed Dempsey several times when the ex-champ was holding court as a restaurant owner in New York City in the 1950s and 1960s. Flame recounts some of these stories. Dempsey obviously made a big impression, as Kahn suggests that Dempsey is the greatest heavyweight of all time. And while that's not the majority position in that never-ending debate, Kahn does a good job convincing the reader that Dempsey is a deserving contender. He makes an even better case that Dempsey is a figure of historical importance.

A friend of Kahn's once told him a few years ago, I think too much has been written about Babe Ruth and not enough about Jack Dempsey. Kahn does a nice job of closing that gap. ¦ Budd Bailey is a hockey reporter and editor for the Buffalo News, and a contributor to The Sporting News

I'll say it again.....

Why Michael Moorcock's "Elric of Melnibone" stories haven't made the big screen, ????? They are superior to anything from Marvel, and would be right there with Tolkiens "Lord of the Rings" epic.

Elric the brooding albino prince with his vampiric runeblade Stormbringer.......this is as good as it gets.

Imagine you are 19 years old sitting on a bar stool in the Phillipines talking to a girl about her kids. This after sampling some monkey meat right after ya crossed "Shit River". Yep, this could have been another planet.

So ya dance and drink until about 1am, you are amazed at just how much this girl can drink. Then really amazed when she leans over and whispers.....we go fucky sucky? While you have had sex before, it was never like this before, no....fucky sucky. So ya grin and think it over. You are told..."stay in a gang, a pack, don't go off alone"....so it's very, hmmmmmm? We aren't even allowed to leave the ship alone.

She is tall and without question the cutest girl in the bar, so ya finally come up with.....fuck it, make a memory.

She turns out to be amazing and ya make plans to see her again. So when ya walk in the next night and see her with another guy and she acts like she doesn't even know you, yep....it hurts.

Then when your buddies ask ya what's wrong and ya tell them, for them to.....poor baby, dumped by a fucking hooker, hahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~ that really hurt.
