I shall vote against the crucifixion, against the hemlock and the chains. . . . My act in so doing will be to me in future years- A rainbow to the storms of life: The evening beam that...

Six weeks of roadwork, six daily rounds of boxing and a Spartan diet made his muscles swell with awesome health when he clambered into his corner of the ring at the Madison Square Garden bowl in Long Island City. When the bell rang for the first round, he lumbered earnestly out of his corner and pushed his left fist inquisitively into Baer's grinning face...
