...quoted a part of my comment concerning the censure of the administration of Ohio State University by the A.A.U.P. [April 16]. In doing this you identified me as a professor of political science.

(pop. 65,000), Rocco Francis Marchegiano had little taste for fighting. He dreamed of big-league baseball, and he grew up to try just about everything else-ditchdigger, dishwasher, candy mixer, truck driver, snow shoveler and, in 1943, soldier. In the Army, Marchegiano discovered that as a soldier he made a good prizefighter. A civilian again, he tried amateur boxing, and did so well that he turned...
