AW: [sumo] "gaijin yokozun" was "Twixt basho rampant speculation"

[Doreen Simmons]

Panek is the man that Akebono, when still a big yokozuna,  told to stay 
away from his house because he was making such a nuisance of himself, 
right? I don't know what his journey has been since then, or how he got a 
job teaching English in Hawaii, but personally I will not bother to buy the 
book. Some of the quotes are enough for me.
