  • Dave Navarro - Beyond Addiction "Guitar World" (N°? - Février 1994) - Alan Di Perna
    Dave Navarro - Beyond Addiction "Guitar World" (n°? - Février 1994) - Alan di Perna Clean and Sober Dave Navarro lives for today with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. L.A. is burning. A series of wickedly devastating brushfires have encircled the City of Angels, turning the surrounding hills into a raging inferno. But Dave Navarro looks implacably cool as he pilots his black Harley down Ventura Boulevard. The guitarist's newly sprouted goatee gives him a conquistador's air of stony self-possession as he glides along the wide thoroughfare. A bandanna and shades protect his hair and eyes from the pall of smoke and cinders that have made the city's air seem like the mouth of a badly vented fireplace. Angelenos have learned not to let castastrophe interrupt their daily lives, and Navarro is no exception. His bike safely stashed in a "Loading Only" zone, the guitarist enters a trendy coffeehouse--one of those self-consciously bohemian places that could only exist in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. Settling onto a worn antique sofa, he orders a cup of black decaf and a bowl of cereal moistened with fruit juice. "I don't eat dairy," he explains. "No caffeine either. Right now, this is my only vice..." He smiles as he lights the first of many cigarettes. Studying the self-confident, purposeful guy seated at my side, I can't help but contrast him with the Dave Navarro I interviewed two years ago [GW, September '91]. At that time, he was a slavering, incoherent wreck, badly strung out on heroin and unable to even locate his shoes.

Toward Gender Equality in Professional Sports by Syda Koso/sky· INTRODUCTION Women have limited professional opportunities in sports: there are few sports in which they can become professional athletes, and where there are careers available, the number of positions is small and the pay is rarely enough to make a living. In contrast, men have many lucrative job opportunities in sports. The sports community justifies this overt discrimi­ nation by citing differences in male and female athletic ability and explaining the need to yield to consumer demand. Although biological differences between males and females affect their respective athletic performances, I there are even more compelling social explanations for the difference in performance levels. 2 There are many social factors which steer women out of sports or into unpopular sports and relegate lower pay and fewer opportunities to professional women athletes. This creates a socially constructed discriminatory situation for women in professional sports, and no adequate legal remedies exist to correct the problem.3 This article will explore the gender inequality which is present in professional sportS.4 Facts about the existing inequalities, specifically, the * B.A., Environmental Studies, B.A., Politics, University of California, Santa Cruz, 1991; J.D., University of California, Hastings College of the Law, Class of 1994.
