This article appeared on the Sports page of the WSJ on Tuesday, 03/24/09. In my book that's the second best day of the week, given it's fluff news for the Monday paper and i'm ready to read some real news by Tuesday. (Weekend edition is my favorite!) It is the main article, taking up columns 2-6 of 6 columns across, and approximately 2/3 the way down the page, inclusive of the picture.
Any news is great news for swimming. NYT always is my favorite for covering other interesting sports (plus swimming) now & then; so it's nice to see big articles like this for a change.
And keep in mind that Futterman's got to make it INTERESTING for the general masses to read. Out of all the material he should have researched, he's only going to put the juicy bits in the article and of course use words like Flabby and Lazy!
