I am trying to track down an article in a magazine (possibly Newsweek
or Time) that I had read some time back. It was written in the first
person and the author described how he fell in love with the game of
poker as he was fighting cancer. He referred to how he correlated the
chances of winning a hand and winning his fight with cancer.
How can I get a hold of this article?

Dear rakrasnaya-ga,
The article is titled: A POKER PLAYER'S GUIDE TO BEATING CANCER by
Nick Kurzon. It was published in Newsweek on 19 January 2004. A copy
is reproduced on the Daily Star web site.

I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
Thank you

Searched for the article on a pay-per-article news database, then once
I had the details, looked for a free copy for you.
