	BBC SPORT \| COUNTIES \| The great White hope
		White, who joined Hampshire from Somerset in 1994, is better known as a batsman and scored 96 against eventual champions Surrey at The Oval in June.
		According to Warne, White's progress has been so rapid that he could soon be pushing for a Test place.
		Smith acknowledges, however, that White can turn the ball "enormously", but needs to show more arrogance with both bat and ball to make the most of his ability.

	BBC SPORT \| CRICKET \| The Great White Hope?
		Craig White's impressive five-wicket haul against the West Indies on the first day of the Headingley Test could finally seal his place as the all-rounder England have been looking for since the end of Ian Botham's international career.
		White's recall to the England team and brilliant bowling on his home ground, which included the wicket of Brian Lara in a return of 5-57, has been all the more remarkable given what happened to him earlier this season.
		However while White has been picked for this Test on the strength of his bowling, his ability with the bat has more often than not let him down.

	The Great White Hope review (1970) James Earl Jones - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
		His opponents are terms as "great white hopes", who hope to gain the title, not just for themselves, but to restore it for their race where they feel it rightfully belongs.
		What really riles up the white public isn't that the champion is Black, it's that he flaunts it so fragrantly, mocking them for their beliefs, smiling even when taunted, and even marrying a white woman.
		The Great White Hope is a film more interested in themes of social commentary more than it is about boxing, and in fact, the boxing footage is one of the weaknesses, with poor choreography, unrealistic delivery, and stiff presentation.

	The great White hope
		White, who averaged 8.3 points and 3.9 assists last season, doesn’t have to shoulder all of the 21 points Gruner scored per game.
		But White is also more than just an assist man. He is quick into the lane, where he can kick it out or, if the opportunity arises, take it to the hole himself.
		White hit two long jumpers Thursday, one from beyond the three-point arc and one from just inside, on the way to 12 points.

	washingtonpost.com: Entertainment Guide
		The late Howard Sackler's huge drama, a rant against white racism, was developed and first produced at Arena Stage in 1967 and made a star of the original Jefferson, James Earl Jones (and of Jane Alexander as Jefferson's mistress).
		Unable to bring him down legitimately, his enemies (apparently all of white America) throw the Mann Act at him: He's made the mistake of going across a state line with his white fiancee and then making love to her.
		In the late 1960s, white audiences must have writhed in delighted masochism at seeing their hatefulness so rawly dramatized – though their discomfort was no doubt mitigated by the fact that most of the whites in the play aren't of that enlightened class that commonly attends the theater.

		The Australian, now in the veteran category at age 48, returned to the scene of one of his great triumphs, his 1993 Open Championship win, and conjured his best golf despite not having played a tournament in months.
		It was the day the Great White Shark became Australia's Great White hope, the swagger returning as he stalked the players who have assumed his mantle at the top of world golf.
		But the competitive juices still flow, and on Thursday he outshone even the great Tiger Woods, whose first shot of the tournament flew into such deep rough that he could not find the ball, and who began with a triple-bogey.

	Reviews for The Great White Hope on MSN Movies
		Set in 1910, the story of Jack Jefferson (Jones) and his attempt to establish his preeminence as the world heavyweight champion in the face of a white world which conspired against him, it's loosely based on the tragic life of Jack Johnson, the first African-American heavyweight champ.
		Like the play, the film reveals the ugliness of the boxer's life as a marked man after winning the heavyweight crown, hounded by boxing officials and politicians who used the illegality of his marriage to a white woman (Alexander) to keep on the run and out of the ring.
		The Great White Hope offers a telling account of the duplicity and intellectual dishonesty that still dogs the US to this day.

	The Great White Hope — Fulfilled?
		Throughout the 1960s and 70s — decades that for America were fraught with racial tension on many fronts — a call could be heard from dark corners of the boxing world for the emergence of a Caucasian fighter who could wrest the Heavyweight title from the lineage of African-American champions.
		It is difficult to gauge how much of the "White Hope" phenomenon has been the result of genuine desire on the part of boxing fans to see a change in the racial background of the Heavyweight champion.
		While American boxing fans debated the issue of the "Great White Hope", developments were occurring on the other side of the world that would have a profound influence on the future of the sport.
