Imran Khan on a hunger strike
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071119/ap_on_re_as/pakistan_cricket_star_s_strike

<snip>
Roll Michael Jordan and Babe Ruth into one, throw in an Oxford education and a beautiful British aristocrat as an ex-wife and you get an idea of how big Imran Khan was as captain of Pakistan's world champion cricket team in 1992.

He's rarely made news as a politician — a rival once called him a sports hero and a political zero. But Khan was back in the spotlight Monday, beginning a hunger strike at the prison where he is being held for protesting against Pakistan's military ruler.

The hunger strike is the latest twist for Khan, a one-time playboy cricket star who retired from sports 15 years ago to become a crusading politician and devout defender of his Muslim faith.
