Here's your Metro Weekly Sneak Peek for Nov. 1, 2007:

COVER STORY: Courting Greatness
In a world where gay professional sports icons are few and far between, Martina Navratilova stands out. But even if the pro playing fields and courts were filled to overflowing with gay players, Navratilova, in town this weekend to be honored at the NGLCC National Dinner, would likely remain head and shoulders above the rest. In a revealing interview, Navratilova talks about her sport as it relates to gays, her views on big business, and why not being able to speak out against the current administration is an uncomfortable reminder of a life she left behind.
