CNN Headline News Reports on Slugging
Slugging received national news coverage on CNN Headline News on 8 May 03 at approximately 8:20 pm EST.

Hopefully, my interview presented slugging in the best way possible and that viewers were left with not only a good impression but a willingness to at least try slugging.
