       women -- Last man standing. 
520    A unique biography of Jim Brown--football legend, 
       Hollywood star, and controversial activist--written by 
       acclaimed sports journalist Dave Zirin. 
520    Brown's phenomenal nine-year career with the Cleveland 
       Browns is only part of his remarkable story, the opening 
       salvo to a much more sprawling epic. He parlayed his 
       athletic fame into stardom in Hollywood, was an outspoken 
       Black Power icon in the 1960s, and he formed Black 
       Economic Unions to challenge racism in the business world.
       But his career has not been non-controversial. Zirin 
       redefines an American icon, and not always in a flattering
       light. -- adapted from jacket
