[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. If Lance Armstrong has not succumbed to the seemingly insurmountable obstacles that have plagued his personal and professional life thus far, there is no reason on earth to believe that anything thrown his way at this point could influence the sheer fortitude Armstrong possesses when faced with adversity. Clearly, the Tour de France is as much his race as it is any other entrant with one particular difference: Armstrong has felt the glory of winning cycling's most prominent position and continues to maintain his quest for experiencing it for the third time.

Michael Jordan - Is He A Hero?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page synopsis of the 1992 biography of Michael Jordan by Sam Smith. The writer demonstrates that while Smith's biography shows a negative side to Jordan's character not seen by his adoring public, debunking the Jordan mystique was not Smith's intention. Smith succeeds in presenting Jordan, not as a godlike superstar, but rather it offers a picture of Michael Jordan as an ordinary person-flawed, moody, gifted and human.

Mike Tyson -- A Life of Constant Highs and Lows
[ send me this paper ]
This 14 page
report discusses boxer Mike Tyson. In the late 1980s, reporters
called him the �new young tiger,� �an orphaned street robber
found handcuffed to a reform-school radiator,� a �square, two
-fisted hulk with a short man�s proclivity for uppercuts,� and
the �undefeated young barbarian.� In 1992, he was sentenced to
six years in prison after a jury found him guilty of rape. He
was released saying his life was changed but was imprisoned again
in 1999 after the assault of two men following a traffic
accident. His life had been a remarkable series of great
accomplishments and dismal disasters. He has conquered many
barriers and remained locked behind others. And yet, there are
still those who believe he may be or may have been the greatest
fighter of the 20th century. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Should Public Money be Used to Subsidize Professional Sports and
Sporting Venues?
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the fact that
both individuals and city governments who are eager to have a
professional sports franchise located in their city list numerous
reasons why public dollars should be spent to entice a team to
come to town or stay in town -- increased employment
opportunities, greater revenue for the city, quality of life
considerations for locals, and, of course, civic pride. But the
question is whether or not tax dollars should be used to entice
teams to locate in a city, build the arena necessary to house the
team, or upgrade an arena or park because the team threatens to
move elsewhere unless the city does so. In a sense, once the city
gets its franchise it is held hostage by it. This paper looks at
several sides of the issue. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
