Back in the early 1920s, when I was a youngster growing up in the hills of western New York State, our neighboring farmer had one. He put it to good use too. It was a treadmill affair for churning butter. Whenever he got it ready to use, the big collie dog would bolt out of the house and hide in the barn...
There were certainly no chickens in the ring. Napoles, who is called "Man-tequilla" because his style is "smooth as butter," owns the best knockout record (47 in 69 bouts) in welterweight history. He and Lewis shared the bill with World Bantamweight Champion Rubén ("Mister K.O.") Olivares and Jesús ("Little Poison") Pimentel, who staged a fast and furious slugfest before Olivares beat Pimentel into submission in the tenth round, scoring his 63rd knockout in 69 fights. Both men are typical of the host of hungry little fighters, most of them from Latin America and Asia...
During the 1968 campus uprising at Columbia, nearly half the students who "liberated" university buildings were girls from Barnard College.

"Taste them," retorted the waiter, "and you will see." Caravaggio jumped to his feet, laid the man's cheek open with the edge of the dish and tried to skewer him with his rapier. Defamation, rent arrears, carrying an unlicensed sword-the lawsuits piled...
...issue," which encompassed the sorts of fears which elected Frank Rizzo in Philadelphia. If the Democrats neutralize the social issue by talking tough, then they say, they will be able to win by returning to the Scammon version of the "economic issues," which turns out to be bread-and-butter liberalism. The authors are almost certainly busy at work now on an article showing how the 1971 elections further confirmed their thesis...
