    the hunger of this poem is legendary
    it has taken in many victims
    back off from this poem
    it has drawn in yr feet
    back off from this poem
    it has drawn in yr legs
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour.

What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
