"Excerpt from the book..."
Behind any human institution there stand a few men--perhaps only one
man--who direct its movement, protect its interests, or serve as its
mouthpiece. This applies to nations. If we wish to know for what a
nation stands and what are its ideals and by what means it seeks to
realise them, we shall do well to know something of the men who lead
its people or express their feelings.

Product Description
The Los Angeles Galaxy (commonly referred to as L.A. Galaxy) is an American, professional soccer club based in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, California. The club is a member of Major League Soccer (MLS). It is one of the ten charter franchises of MLS and is the league's second most-decorated club, after D.C. United. The name "Galaxy" is derived from Los Angeles being home to the 'stars' of Hollywood. The club has won the MLS Cup twice (2002, 2005), and the U.S. Open Cup twice (2001, 2005). L.A. plays its home matches at The Home Depot Center in Carson, which they share with arch-rival, Chivas USA. In January 2007, the club made international headlines by signing English superstar David Beckham, to a record deal potentially worth $250 million. L.A. is currently MLS' most profitable and popular club and is among the top teams in the league in attendance. ... Read more

The Dancer and The Footballer
In the summer of 1978, Heather Dune Macadam, an aspiring young dancer with the Martha Graham troupe attended a workshop at a college outside New York. She was 18 years old: blonde, anorexic and beautiful. By chance, a footballer named Pele, the greatest player the game has ever seen, was at the same college campus training with the short-lived New York Cosmos. Out of this unlikely collision of dance and football, Macadam, the critically acclaimed author of Rena's Promise and The Weeping Buddha, has fashioned a wonderful coming-of-age story that perfectly captures the spirit of that time; and the natural graciousness of the great Pele. It's made all the better for the fact that when she starts to date him, the dancer has never heard of footballer. This gives the story a freshness and innocence that puts it in a different league from the usual I-dated-a-celebrity story. In the memoir's most touching scene, the American dancer and the Brazilian footballer compete to see who can do the best high-kicks or juggle a football on their knee. At the end of their summer together, her father breaks some shattering news and the dancer's world comes crashing down. If I were a screenwriter, I would snap it up tomorrow for a movie. ... Read more
