”The owner of the company, Klaus Schwanbeck, lives in Naples and brought Nordic walking here from his home in Germany. The activity, born in Europe, is based on an off-season training regime practiced by the Finnish Olympic cross-country team in the 1990s. Schwanbeck, a former Olympic track team trainer and sports medicine specialist, says he started the trend that is now gaining popularity across the United States, beginning here in Naples a few years ago. Some of the walkers who meet at 13th Avenue South have had hips and knees replaced, or have arthritis that’s forced them to curtail other sports.

He’ll talk about keeping his options open for awhile. But watch for him to eventually join the Clinton camp that he never really left… Rolling Stone’s Tim Dickinson hails it as a “nervy, acerbic, passionately argued history-cum-polemic [that] combines a rich examination of the parliamentary roots and past use ofthe ‘heroic medicine’ that is impeachment with a call for Democraticleaders to ‘reclaim and reuse the most vital tool handed to us by thefounders for the defense of our most basic liberties. ‘” Comments (15) Tired of the horse race already.
