...Hollywood, Durocher was one of baseball's most controversial characters when he managed the Brooklyn Dodgers anc New York Giants to three pennants in the 1940s and 1950s. "Nice guys finish last," was his famous motto. He was sued by a fan who claimed Leo had broken his jaw, and he was suspended for the entire 1947 season by Commissioner A. B. Chandler, who finally decided that his conduct was "detrimental to baseball." Dropped by the Giants in 1955, he couldn't find another managerial job (he was a coach with the Los Angeles Dodgers for four years...
...voice is as unique as his fingerprints. Because the frequencies and energy distribution of the human voice are determined by the size and coupling of the nasal, throat and oral cavities and by the manner in which each person uses his articulators (tongue, teeth, lips, soft palate and jaw muscles), Kersta says, it is highly improbable that any two voices can be identical.

His tunic was ablaze with the trophies of three wars - six tiers of campaign ribbons and medals from battles in North Africa and Sicily, France and Germany, Korea and Viet Nam, as well as the silver emblem of the master parachutist and the combat infantryman's badge...
...parts represent triumphs of casting. An Earth Mother is easier to fantasize than to film, but Barbara Jefford looks and acts the part enormously. Maurice Roeves is glamorous to an extent that no reader will have visualized Stephen Daedalus--vaguely Beatle-ish with a matinee idol's jaw--but he speaks Stephen's lines and thoughts with great intelligence...
