[sumo] Re: Japan Times review of Panek book

[Angie]

Thanks for sending this link, Doreen.  I really
enjoyed the book, and yes, I thought Panek handled
Akebono's disappointing post-sumo career with extreme
delicacy.  That was appropriate, I thought, since the
book was about Akebono as sumo champion.  It was also
agreeable to me, because it makes me sad to think of
the big guy getting the crap beat out of him by these
K-1 guys (who to me are totally lacking in class!<g>).
