Sports in AmericaRandom House Publishing Group, 12.03.1981 - 576 Seiten "A comprehensive, controversial examination of sports as a major force in American life." Los Angeles Times There is a crisis in American sports, and it's getting worse. Drugs, violence, and the corrupting effects of money and fame. Even before these problems made national headlines, master writer James A. Michener was growing concerned about the state of sports in America.
