Book Description
"Zirin is America's best sportswriter."--Lee Ballinger, Rock and Rap Confidential "Zirin is one of the brightest, most audacious voices I can remember on the sportswriting scene, and my memory goes back to the 1920s."--Lester Rodney, N.Y. Daily Worker sports editor, 1936-1958 "Zirin has an amazing talent for covering the sports and politics beat. Ranging like a great shortstop, he scoops up everything! He profiles the courageous and inspiring athletes who are standing up for peace and civil liberties in this repressive age. A must read!"--Matthew Rothschild, The Progressive "This is cutting-edge analysis delivered with wit and compassion."--Mike Marqusee, author, Redemption Song: Muhammad Ali and the Spirit of the Sixties Here Edgeofsports.com sportswriter Dave Zirin shows how sports express the worst, as well as the most creative and exciting, features of American society. Zirin explores how Janet Jackson's Super Bowl flash-time show exposed more than a breast, why the labor movement has everything to learn from sports unions and why a new generation of athletes is no longer content to "play one game at a time" and is starting to get political. What's My Name, Fool! draws on original interviews with former heavyweight champ George Foreman, Olympian and black power saluter John Carlos, NBA basketball player and anti-death penalty activist Etan Thomas, antiwar women's college hoopster Toni Smith, Olympic Project for Human Rights leader Lee Evans and many others.

Book Description
Angel has a habit of meeting everyone. She is one social little doggie. And then, the day came when the empty house next door became a home for a soon-to-be best friend. His name was Ryan. Communication was a “woof, woof” over the neighboring fence to a soft voice asking to see “Angel”. Dad came up with an idea and cut a hole in the fence so they could talk easier. From that day on, Angel and Ryan would communicate regularly and more than often see each other after that. Soon Tracey discovered that Ryan had a learning challenge. Tracey picked up on it right away. Fortunately, Tracey and her best friends other than Angel, Nancy Ann, and Sarah had already formed the ‘Girls Club’. Those three girls and Angel were always getting into something. Adventure was their middle name, but being the best students, the girls were always looking for new tasks. Then, along came Ryan. He needed a community of friends...especially ones, who would support him on so many levels. And then there was Angel. A little dog, a neighbor, a best buddy who would do anything for his new friend. She was up for any chore that was given to her. Angel was open to making people happy. She loved her friends and now Ryan was her newest friend.
