...Army has already banned the fable about the golden ox who sought greener pastures (he is really seeking a Greater East Asia), and bellicose sports like judo and kendo (fencing with wooden swords). It has also canceled history, geography and ethics courses, because the texts were deeply Shinto-stained. The educators recommended a new kind of civics training-emphasizing "heroes of civil life," and stressing that "politics is an honor, not a disgrace." Teachers would be given security to think, speak and act freely...
...amateurs didn't know everything about boxing, but they had plenty of fight. And that's what draws the crowds. Last week 19,216 noisy fans crammed into Manhattan's Madison Square Garden to boo and applaud the Golden Gloves's national finals. The fans saw plenty of the wild haymakers and weird grimaces which made good action shots for the photographers at the ringside (see cut). A few connoisseurs went for a special reason: to take a look at Negro Bob Foxworth, 22, touted as the coming Joe Louis...

But the end of the war and the dry-up of the U.S. Government's golden flood was almost the end of Jahco...
Vardis Fisher's saga of primitive man reaches Volume III with Intimations of Eve (earlier volumes: Darkness and the Deep, The Golden Rooms). Without doubt these are the most remarkable subhistorical works ever written in the State of Idaho. Unrelated to one another so far as "story" goes, they are part of what Fisher obviously regards as a serious attempt to trace "the origin and evolution of human morality" from the days of the ape man to relatively modern times. At what point of human development the saga will end is not clear, nor is it altogether clear...
