good talk

Steve Bornfeld, sbornfeld@reviewjournal.com, Writes a Very Good Colum for the RJ and Recently has Used His Nimble Literary Wit to Describe the Ongoing Corruption Scandal at the Local ABC Affiliate. Tonight Vitali Klitschko faces Cristobal Arreola at the Staples Center in L.A. for the WBC Heavyweight Championship which Klitschko Holds. Vitali and his Brother Vladimir, who I've Seen Fight, are the 2 Best Heavyweights in the World. Ukranian, their Father was a Soviet Air Force Colonel and Both Have PhD's in Physical Education. 8 Years Ago Vladimir tried to get a Library Card at the Flamingo Library in Las Vegas, he was Turned Away Because he had no Picture ID. Returning with the Required ID a Couple Days Later There Was a Big Picture in the RJ of Vlad Proudly Holding Up His Library Card. In the Accompanying Article Vladimir Said That the World is a Jungle and the Only Way to Survive is by Being Strong and that the Way to do That is by Studying Books and That He Wants People to do This. A Couple Years Ago Vitali Ran for but Lost the Race for Mayor of Kiev. The Klitschkos are sort of like Fine Men. By the 2nd Round Cris is going to Forget that he's Fighting for the Mexican People who Have Never had a Heavyweight Champion or that he's Fighting for his Grandmother or that He's Fighting for Whatever or Whomever in that He'll be Feeling the Good Doctor's Ministrations in Resounding Thuds on his Noggin. He'll then Begin to Think of How he'll be able to Survive in this Activity in Which all Weaknesses are Layed Bare. I See Arreola putting up a Good Fight but Being Stopped say in the 6th Round. I'll be Watching It at the Palms Sportsbook, Stop in. While I was in Buenos Aires I Immersed Myself in the Tango. The Tango Began in the Brothels of B.A. in the 1890's and Gained Respectability in Paris in the 1920's. I Went to 2 Tango Dinners and Shows Neither of Which was as Good as La Ventana 2 Years Ago. The One Show Began with 2 Knifefighters Circling Each Other in a Nod to Tango's Steamy Origins. The "Goncho" or Hook in Which one Partner Puts His or Her Leg Quickly In Between the Length of His Partner's Legs is the Most Sensual Movement in All of Dance and Can Only be Done by People in Their 20's and Few of Them. To Watch Excellent Tango Dancers is Very Exciting. I Took 4 Tango Lessons at the "Confiteria Ideal," a Hundred Year Old Tango Dance Hall. I Took l There 2 Years Ago, Each Lesson Lasts 2 and a Half Hours and Costs $7, Usually Around l P.M. Almost Every Day, Just Show Up, and the Girl Instructor at One Point Said, Dance with These Women, I replied None of Them Will Dance with Me (I wasn't too adroit), so She Said, Then Dance by Yourself. And I Did and Also at Times on this Past Trip. It Doesn't Pay to be Overly Proud in this Life (it takes 2 to Tango?). No, They Have Fine Instructors and I Love Them All and I Love the Confiteria Ideal. This Completes My Trip, I Think That I Might Have Given you Girls Fancy Ideas About Yourselves Going to Iguazu Falls and Seeing the "Devil's Throat" and Perhaps Having a Man Put a Butterfly on Your Shoulder, and I Must Ask You, as I Did for the Galapagos, Not to Go There, It's Too Much for You. I Hope that You All Have Enjoyed Reading About the Places that I've Been on My Trip as Much as I Enjoyed Being There.
