...patients whose ulcers are still active, there are such conventional horrors as poached eggs and milk toast. But for quiescent ulcers, there is a wide range, from broiled beefsteak, boiled lobster, venison and wild duck to cheesecake and pumpkin pie. Still on the forbidden list (along with strong drinks): pork, nuts, baked beans, clams, corn, cabbage, tomatoes, radishes and cucumbers...
...President did not duck. He told a press conference stubbornly that it was his job, and not a bar association's, to make judicial appointments. He forgot to add that it is also the Senate's job to confirm those appointments. If the Illinois poll goes against him, that in itself will be a sharp blow.

For the first two minutes of Round One Gavilan stuck right to the script, bouncing in to pepper Bratton from his low crouch, bouncing back away again to duck Bratton's right. Then he caught Bratton flush in the face with a jolting right cross, followed it up with a blinding series of rights, lefts and underswung bolo punches that brought the Garden crowd howling to its feet with cries of "Arriba!
