...stamp's issuance happens to coincide with the 75th anniversary of TIME, the first of the four Luce-created magazines that changed forever the way news is read and understood. TIME's first issue bore the date March 3, 1923, and was the first foray into publishing for Luce, about to turn 25 and just a few years out of Yale. The boundless self-confidence that created TIME would sustain his second magazine, FORTUNE, through a rocky birth that was announced just as the stock market crashed in 1929.

...California School of Fine Arts. Over the next several years, he moved between the East and West coasts. His work from the late '40s to the early '50s was essentially abstract, though with strong overtones of landscape space and color. A considerable influence of Willem de Kooning bore on it. De Kooning, Diebenkorn felt, "had it all, could outpaint anybody, at least until the mid-'60s, when he began to lose it."

Due to the muddy field conditions, Murphy simplified his offense to short and mid-range passes and handoffs to Menick. Menick bore the entire rushing load, carrying the ball 42 times for 125 yards as the Crimson edged the Tigers 14-12 on a late field goal by sophomore Mike Giampaolo. His 42 carries topped Hu's school record...
Harvard's attacking spirit nearly triumphed in the 124th minute, when Ivy League Player of the Year Miller sprinted past the last George Mason defender with the ball at her feet, only to be taken down roughly as she bore down on Pagliarulo before she could even get a shot...
