Question

An ESPN article whose title begins with this phrase declares that “It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad” about the aftermath of 9/11.

These three words begin the title of a book that references a Sports Illustrated (10[1])offer to follow the Mint 400 while its characters are “somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert.” A work of gonzo journalism whose title starts with these three words was originally published in Rolling Stone and used the pseudonym Raoul Duke as a stand-in for its author.
