Standing up straight with thin gloves on their hands two boxers strutted around a ring, cuffed each other in the face, in the belly, over the heart. One was Battling Nelson, lightweight champion of the world, bloody, ferocious, who wanted to win. The other was Ad Wolgast, the Cadillac wildcat, who won-after 40 rounds when Nelson, blind and helpless, lurched against the ropes and spat blood into the ringside seats. That was 17 years ago in San Francisco...
...loud bang. In that emotional condition we find that his stomach has crawled up the length of several vertebrae. A year later, as a sophomore, we find his stomach back in place, where it ought to be. When you hear a woman describe her fright by saying, 'My heart came right up in my mouth,' she is really describing the cavortings of her stomach...

The latter was a most genteel, non-cannibalistic, Stone-age race of pygmies whose existence in the mountain fastnesses had been rumored but never proved. After some flitting through the undergrowth and bird...
...Chester Morris), first assistant safecracker, proved disobedient and plugged the doubly unfortunate Goldberg in the forbidden parts. For this treacherous, unwarranted homicide, Director-General Fenmore plugs Rocky. Two young innocents become entangled in the brutal but inept police proceedings. To save them, Fenmore tells all, proving he has a heart of gold and a sense for tabloid headlines. It is the sort of play that sends small boys and big boys out of the theatre hoping some day to work up to the nobility of banditry. It is, unhappily, uncensorable...
