...knocked out, you can't be knocked out,' " he said afterward. He talked longingly about a title fight with Clay and another shot at Liston, and chided sportswriters who predicted that Chuvalo would put him down as soon as he tapped him on his china chin. "I proved that I could take a punch much better than you gentlemen gave me credit for," he said. "I would say that I am deserving of a chance to fight Cassius Clay for the heavyweight title. And if I didn't feel that I could win it, I wouldn...
...Snow"-after the irrepressible heroine of Zazie dans le Métro, a bestselling novel and movie. Frenchmen are still chuckling over the Austrian cop who got into an argument with her coach, Henri Bonnet, at Innsbruck last year; Marielle uncorked a haymaker square on the point of his chin. And then there was the unnerving experience of Premier Georges Pompidou, who lunched with Marielle after the Olympics. Mlle. Goitschel started things off by making the V for Victory sign, bellowing "Vive le ski! Vive la France!" and singing a chorus of La Marseillaise. Then she announced that...
...fair to them, The Wizard of Oz really is a horror story, with this grackle-voiced, green-skinned, chin-warted apparition hurling fire from rooftops, skywriting ominously with a flaming broom, or saying: "Now, my beauties, something with poison in it. Heh! Heh! Heh!" Hearing that, one child remembered hopefully, if a bit inexactly, that "last year Dorothy and the Wizard poured hot water on her and she melted."

Soledad City was part Old Mexico, part American frontier. Its ethic had elements of both-plus, at that time in the 1920s, the "shrill, maniacal lynch law" of the smugly righteous ladies in their long, black, chin-high dresses. These conflicts are embodied in the judge of the second murder trial, Benjamin Morales Lewis, 29. As he announces in his decision, "We have no precedents. We have only our own precarious humanity," no one's humanity seems more precarious than Ben Lewis'. The son of the town's Mexican grande dame and of its late county sheriff...
Labor also suffered a new blow to its battered chin when Dr. Richard Beeching, the able, cost-conscious chairman of the British Railways Board, resigned abruptly in a dispute over how to run the country's deficit-plagued nationalized railroads (1963 losses: $340 million). A trained physicist with a no-nonsense attitude toward inefficiency, Beeching was technical director of Imperial Chemical Industries when the Conservatives called him in 1961 and gave him a free hand to put the rails on a paying basis. His unsentimental and sound plan: close 352 branch lines, 5,000 miles of track...
