...champion started well, nicked jabs that confused Moore, won four of the first five rounds. But in the sixth he walked into a staggering left-right combination. The champion began to bleed around the eyes. As early as the ninth round, he was beaten. His seconds asked politely if he was giving any thought to "retiring." Gamely the Kid rejected the idea, pawed the blood from his eyes for four more rounds. Finally, after the 13th, he retired, explained simply: "I just couldn't see." Manager Biddles' tune had changed in a year's time. "I wouldn...
Playwright Williams' instinct for the theatrical jugular makes even this mannikin play bleed greasepaint. Elia Kazan's direction is intense, Jo Mielziner's sets are broodily menacing, and Paul Bowles's mood music shimmers. But the only unfailing source of power and passion in the play is the bravura performance of Geraldine Page. Whether she is thrashing about in bed crying for her oxygen mask after a days-long vodka-and-goofball binge or clawing apart her hired paramour's tape-recorded blackmail scheme, Actress Page is just what the character she plays fears...
When the birds reach market weight, Jewell sends a truck to get them-and to deliver more baby birds. At his processing plant in Gainesville it takes only 60 minutes to bleed, scald, pluck and eviscerate, separate the birds into parts.

During the last hours of Prince Henry, eldest son of England's James I, the doctors were terrified of hurrying the process and thereby literally getting the ax. Not daring to bleed the youth as much as they wanted to, they finally decided to try treating him "as if he was some meane person." They bisected a rooster, attached the reeking halves to Henry's royal soles, which at least allowed him to keep most of his blood until he died...
...bill's lobbyists, passage climaxed an uphill fight. Some 30 years ago, U.S. humane societies were aghast to discover that a steer being led to slaughter was first stunned by a hammer blow-often ineffectively-then slashed across the throat and allowed to bleed to death. Hogs were shackled by a leg to overhead conveyor belts, jabbed in their jugular veins, sometimes dumped alive into scalding water. The societies pressured meat packers into joining a committee on humane slaughter that achieved some innovations, e.g., some packinghouses began using a captive bolt pistol, which fires a metal rod into...
