Tyson does Las Vegas

Article Abstract:

Boxer Mike Tyson continues to attract a great deal of attention, even though he is now more closely associated with disgrace and retribution than with boxing excellence. The development of his career forces observers to consider issues that have nothing at all to do with boxing, with his behaviour often highlighting moral and social matters that go a long way beyond the questions raised by common events such as cheating. He respects no law, and must therefore be a law unto himself.
