...currently. Despite his expert knowledge, Critic Chotzinoff permits himself even here no sidestepping into erudite analysis of Beethoven's music. His book is frankly fiction, tells vividly the story of the pock-marked man who never in his life found satisfaction save in music, who died shaking his fist at the unknown. Other Beethoven biographers have presumably clung more closely to reliable, documentary sources but honest laymen will like the Chotzinoff version. It attempts, at least, to solve the haloed Beethoven enigma, paints him as man rather than Titan...
...camera at the same time; the two men face each other at a table and Anna sits or stands between them, stressing the triangle; when Old Man Christie vents his periodic curse on the Ole Davil Sea he usually goes and looks out at the sea, and shakes his fist at it. Anna Christie remains Greta Garbo's picture?a superb individual performance. Her voice is deep and flexible, and her Swedish accent fits naturally into the part.

...chocolate-coated pills, awoke and found a burglar prowling through his Fifth Avenue mansion. The burglar hit Dr. Partos on the head with a piece of iron pipe. Dr. Partos tore off the burglar's mask, chased him downstairs, bashed him repeatedly on the head with his fist.

After that Uzcudun kept his chin on Von Porat's chest and his elbows in front of his own jaw. Suddenly an elbow would straighten, a fist appear, whirl through the air, land on flesh. Paulino's prestige has been dimmed by recent drubbings handed out by Max Schmeling, Tuffy Griffiths. His victory leaves the heavyweight situation more muddled than ever...
...backspins he knows how to use. He began playing when he was nine in Marianao, Cuba. He speaks broken, almost unintelligible English. Asked what makes him so good, he points to his head. He is temperamental, histrionic: after losing a close match he has been known to put his fist through a windowpane. Aramendi, Vincente, Garate, Teodoro are other able players, can make Ugalde hump himself. In some Latin countries there are no nets in front of the stands because the spectators feel it would be unsportsmanlike not to risk injury by the ball which can break noses, fracture bones...
