...dead boxers included some of America's finest nonprofessionals. Lemuel Steeples, 23, from St. Louis, was considered by many to be the leading amateur welterweight in the U.S. "We looked for him to win a gold medal at the Olympics," said Ed Silverglade, chairman of the A.A.U. international selection committee. Andre McCoy, 20, of New Bedford, Mass., was touted among the nation's top three light heavyweights. Also killed was the team's coach, Thomas ("Sarge") Johnson, 58, who trained the U.S. boxing squad that won five gold medals at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal...

...Vatican (Pope John XXIV is a stout-swilling Englishman given to reminding his visitors that "we are the Holy Father"). Plague and cholera still ravage its citizens because ecclesiastical authorities have hamstrung medicine and banned science altogether. Jean-Paul Sartre is a French Jesuit.

(Among other things, Mostert urges the establishment of onshore control towers like those now handling flight patterns around jet airports...

That first production was a direct steal from a stage play which had run in Boston at the old Tremont Theatre. Lemuel Hayward '45, together with a few of his colleagues, agreed that the mock trials had run their course. (The most popular of them had been called Dido vs. Aeneas: for Breach of Trust). And so Bombastes Furioso, the first in a long line of Pudding preparations was born. The play included one female character named Distaffina. "Madam" Augustus...
