Vin Denson`s ” The Full Cycle” is the story of that remarkable career, one of loyalty, courage & friendship. Vin Denson was a racing cyclist for almost half a century, & his career ran the full cycle. He began as he ended
- as a typical English clubman, riding the weekly club time trial & strapping on a saddlebag for the weekend hostel tour. In between were eight glorious years spent as a professional on the Continent when he rode with & against the very best riders of his era. During that period he worked selflessly in the engine room of the peloton; he was the original `super domestique`, & Jacques Anquetil & Rik Van Looy thought the world of him, even if they showed their gratitude in totally different ways. But he was also capable of winning on his own account. In addition to many other successes, Vin was the first Briton to win a stage of the Tour of Italy, & stages in the tough Dunkirk 4-Days race. His victory in the Tour of Luxemburg made him the first British winner of a professional European stage race.

In The Future is History Masha Gessen follows the lives of four Russians, born as the Soviet Union crumbled, at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children or grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their own
