...Germany's Onetime Heavyweight Champion Max Schmeling can testify, the man on the floor when the bell rings is not necessarily the long-run loser. Joe Louis, 56, who knocked Schmeling out in the first round of their championship bout in 1938, has been living in a Denver veterans mental hospital while his ex-wives and the Government haggle over what money he has left. By contrast, Schmeling-fit, rich and popular-celebrated his 65th birthday last week on his 25-acre estate near Hamburg with his actress-wife Anny Ondra, and was awarded West Germany's Federal...

Of Abie's Irish Rose, which ran 2,327 performances, Benchley once babbled: "One,two,three,four,five,six, seven,eight,nine,ten." But Botsford has added...
...Long-Run Dangers. Suharto, a military man himself, has repeatedly ordered an end to many of these practices. "All illegal collections, regardless of purpose, should be stopped," he said late in 1969. "Such collections may look profitable in the short term, but in the long term they undermine our national economy." Beyond demoralizing Indonesians who had hoped for a new order, the military's highhanded role has discouraged foreign investors...
