JAMA REVIEW!
"The editors are outstanding, experienced physicians with a great wealth of knowledge as well as practical proficiency in this field. The other contributors are also first-rate authors, and all have done a wonderful job in researching the subjects and writing them up in a way that is easy to read and understand. I firmly believe that Pediatric Practice Sports Medicine will quickly become the favorite of students, residents, and primary care clinicians. It will be embraced because of its ease of use and its valuable, practical contents. I am sure it will find its way to medical libraries throughout the nation or world and to most offices for primary care clinicians. I would recommend this book for anyone dealing with pediatric and adolescent patients, even if that interaction takes place only a few times per year. I think that this will be a must-have reference for pediatricians, family practitioners, student health clinicians, pediatric and family nurse practitioners, and physician assistants and anyone working with children and adolescents."--Journal of the American Medical Association

" I was lucky to survive the day Duthie played in my golf tournament. Little did I know he'd turn the experience into one of the best books on sports that I've read in a long time."

- Wayne Gretzky

"Tragedy is easy. Comedy is hard. Sports comedy is even harder, but James Duthie, who we now know is as comfortable in front of a keyboard as he is a camera, treads whimsically through a sports landscape that certainly needs a smile. His is a biting wit, guaranteed to leave teeth marks."

- Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated

" If you like James Duthie on TSN, you're in for a treat. He's just as clever and witty in print. James is simply a great storyteller whose creative style will make you smile over and over."

- Dave Naylor, The Globe and Mail

"The Quiz sucks but Duthie's book is fantastic. He is one warped writer, but genius."

- John Tortorella, New York Rangers coach

" Duthie writes the way I played: With an edge, but never forgetting the game is supposed to be fun. This book is a ton of fun."

- Jeremy Roenick, former NHL star

"This guy does it all-he writes as well as he does television. That same somewhat aberrant sense of humour leaps off the pages. Sports fans will love this book!"

- Brian Burke, Toronto Maple Leafs GM

"I don't have kids nor can I legally admit to owning a monkey, but I do love hockey and Duthie manages to make them all work together. He effortlessly modernizes sports writing while respectfully tipping his hat to the old school."

- George Stroumboulopoulos , Hockey Fan and Host of CBC's George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight

So what's this book about? Well...

This book is about hockey. And golf. And the Olympic Games. And being a broadcaster, a sports fan, a father, husband, and son. And having an unhealthy fascination with Anna Kournikova.

It's a collection of things that marched through James Duthie's head over the years and spilled out into his weekly columns, selected, collected, and randomized for your reading pleasure. It's also educational!

You'll learn about:

• Sidney Crosby's secrets
• Where you rank on The Jeter Meter of male success
• Why hockey's loser point has to go
• The best four-legged athlete ever
• What the clichés that come out of athletes' mouths really mean
• What it's like to be upstaged by a monkey
• And yes, how Duthie almost killed two Gretzkys on the same day.

James Duthie has been writing columns about hockey, sport in general, and his own twisted view of the world for over a decade. This book is the first and only collection of some of his most popular and controversial columns, with several brand new, previously unpublished pieces. In The Day I (Almost) Killed Two Gretzkys, he brings his famous sense of humour, deep hockey knowledge, and his passion for sports of all kinds to fans and readers everywhere- no matter what team you cheer for.

Often hilarious, sometimes insightful, occasionally touching and always passionate, Duthie's off-kilter view of sports and life shows how the spirit of sport unites us all.

How This Book Came to Be

It was in the issue of May 25, 1959, that Time Magazine devoted almost a full page in its Business Section to the extraordinary stockmarket story of a dancer— Nicolas Darvas.

Time told how this complete non-professional, ". . . who ignores tips, financial stories and brokers' letters," was able to make himself a millionaire several times over through the investment methods he developed.

This article raised a lot of eyebrows among Wall Streeters who were shocked by Mr. Darvas’ disregard for many of the long-accepted, ordinary investment practices to which they were accustomed. But it also fired the interest and imagination of thousands of investors across the country.

We at the AMERICAN RESEARCH COUNCIL, publishers of many of the most widely-used and authoritative investment and business guides, were also impressed by Time's brief outline of Mr. Darvas' successful investment methods. As a result, we decided to approach Mr. Darvas about writing a book describing his techniques. This was not easy—to find him, our chief editor had to track him down in Paris where he and his partner, Julia, were starring on a French television program. There we discovered the remarkable set of circumstances that were to make this unique book possible.

First, Mr. Darvas is a showman. His dance act is one of the most exciting international acts in show-business history, and he and his sister Julia have starred in some 34 countries. He is accustomed to being constantly in the spotlight of public attention. Therefore, he had no hesitation, as might many private individuals, in making public the details of the stock transactions, which went into his making a fortune. Perhaps never before in history has any individual so fully exposed his financial dealings to the public eye.

Second, it turned out that Mr. Darvas is far more than a spectacular dancer. He is a highly literate individual with a solid background in economics and sociology gained at the University of Budapest; a former sportswriter, journalist and crossword-puzzle editor in his native country; and therefore thoroughly qualified to write a book. As a result, the COUNCIL now takes pride in presenting one of the most extraordinary success stories in the history of Wall Street. It is especially significant not only because this investment record was made by a true nonprofessional and "outsider" who was investing for that legendary "second income", but also because the profits he made were not the result of a lucky killing or chance tip.

On the contrary, the investment methods that eventually made Mr. Darvas a millionaire were the result of hard-won experience, years of mistakes and learning from those mistakes. These specific, highly practical methods can serve as a useful guide to every individual investor.

We think that Mr. Darvas' techniques, especially his unique "TechnoFundamentalist Theory," and many of his pithy stock-market maxims—"I just jog along with the trend trailing my stop-loss insurance behind me." "There are no good or bad stocks, there are only rising and falling stocks." "I can become a diagnostician but I can never become a prophet." — will become an accepted part of the pages of Wall Street history.

To further clarify Mr. Darvas' approach, the COUNCIL has drawn up and added to his book a number of charts showing his operations in the major stocks that helped him make over $2,000,000 in the stock market in a period of 18 months dating from when he first successfully applied his perfected theory.

Mr. Darvas is still a dancer, because that is his profession; and he is still an investor, because he enjoys it and still makes money at it. Everything about him is unorthodox. He has no office, not even a desk for his financial dealings. He works from his hotel room or the bar in the Georges V in Paris, the Dorchester in London or the Plaza Hotel in New York. When he is in New York, his favorite city, he sits every evening at his usual table in the fashionable Oak Bar of the Plaza Hotel with a newspaper page, a telegram, and some figures on a half-sheet of paper. He appears to be relaxing like the others around him—but actually he is studying stock prices and analyzing the market with the brilliant approach he has evolved over the past few years and which has brought him millions.

The story of Nicolas Darvas is one of the astonishing legends of today's America. We are proud to be able to publish it in a book, which we believe will be a stock-market classic for many years to come.
