NYC Underground in Today's Wall Street Journal

There's an article on the Underground Combat League in today's Wall Street Journal.  Here's the link - http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303795304576452050922736300.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_sections_newyork - but you need to subscribe to the site to read it.  However, here's a link to the slideshow http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304521304576448044062307166.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_PhotosModule_1.  At least that's free, right?  Anyway, I was interviewed at length for this piece and none of my quotes made it in.  I guess maybe I use too much foul language or something...
