14 Voice: Bobby’s Way
The success of Chiba Lotte Marines in the 2005 Japan Series
was fitting reward for one of the smartest managers
in baseball today - Bobby Valentine.
Since returning in 2003, the former New York Mets star
has completely revamped the franchise’s approach to the game,
introducing more effective training schedules and establishing
an element of teamwork that simply didn’t exist before.
The results speak for themselves.
Tony Teora sits with the charismatic manager as his team goes
through its drills prior to opening day in a bid to find out
what all the fuss is about.
20 Travel: Back on Track
Improved tourist infrastructure and a reduction in official red tape

several observers in the travel industry to loook further a field
in search of the next untapped, exotic destination. However,
as Stephen Mansfield reports, there’s still much to see and do
in this developing Southeast Asian nation, and Ho Chi Minh City
is a case in point.
26 Fitness: Ring of Power
The popularity of mixed material arts in Japan is on the rise,
with disciplines such as K-1, Pride and Pancrase regularly attracting
full houses of audiences baying for blood. What’s behind this violent
streak? Benjamin Freeland reports.
30 Health: The Balanced Diet
You are what you eat, writes Thomasina Larkin.
36 Weekend: History Repeats
With the Black Ships Festival just aruond the corner,
Rob Gilhooly drops in

40 People: The Haiku Guy
Thomasina Larkin stumbles across a poet who knows it
(although exactly what that ”it” might be is
still up for open for debate).
53 Sport: Summer Slam
Local basketball fans are spoilt for choice over the next few months,
writes James Sycamore.
