...largest club with perhaps the most diverse membership is the Fly. The Fly has an ostentatious club house and garden in front of Lowell House, and with four blacks, the Fly has 80 percent of all black club members. This is not likely to stir a revival of the Ku Klux Klan in New England, but it is a cautious improvement over the days when Jews were untouchable and Joseph Kennedy Jr. became the first Catholic ever to make a club. It is unlikely that Harvard blacks will fall over each other trying to join a club, so the percentages...
...Milan on May 17, 1957, accompanied by Giuseppina Airoldi, a lay sister of the Company of St. Paul. Signora Airoldi believed the body to be that of an Italian woman who had died in Argentina-Maria Maggi, widow of Luigi De Magistris. The body was buried in Lot 86, Garden 41, in Milan's Musocco Cemetery...

He took his wife to one political event, at Madison Square Garden.

KGB officials had also been slandering him publicly. "Now I will no longer be silent," he wrote to Andropov...
Surprisingly for a film biography of a man who is still alive (the real Knievel performed in Madison Square Garden a month ago), the hero is portrayed as an egomaniac, a compulsive worrier and a shameless searcher after publicity. Marvin Chomsky's direction is pedestrian, but the script (by Alan Caillou, John Milius and Pat Williams) has some nice moments of quirky comedy, as when a fissure opens in the earth and a rather large automobile disappears without a trace. The film is good-naturedly skeptical and occasionally satiric about Knievel's exploits-in marked and welcome relief...
