I have been ransacking my brain to find the right words to describe my own impression but I do not think I have found them. So let me just say that the show was absolutely unforgettable, extraordinary, and amazing.” Rutorn Nopakun, President, Rotary Club of Bangrak, Thailand “The production was a sheer delight from the moment it opened with the band and then to be bowled over by the energy, the costumes, the dancing, and vibrant colour and the most beautiful chorus work and the soloists who were of the highest standard and who could most definitely be on the Broadway stage.” Micheal Simmons, Port Elisabeth, South Africa “You have changed many peoples lives with the contribution that you gave our beautiful country, with your time and talents. We will not forget the special moments we had with you.” Wendy Osburn, Public Affairs Council of South Africa “These young people represent the best America has to offer and they are the true ambassadors of the United States.” Steven J.

  • Of Cowards and True Men Order the Complete Book From
    Kenny Adams survived on profanity and pugilism, turning Fort Hood into the premier military boxing outfit and coaching the controversial 1988 U.S. Olympic boxing team in South Korea. Twenty-six of his pros have won world-title belts. His amateur and professional successes are nonpareil. Here is the unapologetic and unflinching life of an American fable, and the crude, raw, and vulgar world in which he has flourished.

  • On January 20, 1970, the National Basketball
    1 Season 1: 1970-1971 In the beginning... n January 20, 1970, the National Basketball Association voted to expand. Along with Port- land and Cleveland, an NBA franchise was Oawarded to a group of investors headed by Phillip Ryan and Peter Crotty for Buffalo. The age of sports expansion had been well under way since the late 1960s. The National Hockey League, for example, had doubled the number of its franchises from six to 12 in one grand move. The NBA had expanded to Seattle and San Diego in 1967; and to Milwaukee and Phoenix a year later. While some contended that the talent pool wasn’t there to support so many new teams, the NBA was eager for new markets in large part because it was at war with the rival Ameri- can Basketball Association. The ABA had been around since 1967 and was developing a strong following in some parts of the country. The ABA, with its distinctive red, white and blue ball, emphasized slam dunks and high scoring. The rival league was driving up player salaries and many owners in the older NBA were becoming increasingly concerned about the bottom-line. New teams to the NBA paid escalating franchise fees. In the case of the new kids on the block – Portland, Cleveland and Buf- falo – the entry fee was $3.7 million. Days after the announcement was made, it be- came apparent that the Buffalo group didn’t have deep The new Buffalo franchise unveils its nickname the Braves, selected enough pockets to operate a team at the most expensive from over 14,000 entries in a “Name the team” contest.
