...Chiefs of Staff, who had been ordered by Dwight Eisenhower to get away from the Pentagon for a full-scale review of U.S. military policy, with special reference to the question of whether the service roles assigned by Key West needed overall revision. The Army planners hoped desperately that Max Taylor could use the Puerto Rico sessions to gain new prestige and position for his service...
Died. Sir Max Beerbohm, 83, dumpling-shaped British wit, drama critic (The Saturday Review), caricaturist and satirist (Zuleika Dobson), last of the Victorian elegants; in Rapallo, Italy. One of literature's most modest, sparing and delicate talents, "the incomparable Max," as Shaw called him, belonged to an age of posturing geniuses and aesthetes (Burne-Jones, the Rossettis, Swinburne, Whistler, Oscar Wilde), was one of them but not one with them.

Baer refuses, and what happens next is a ghastly digest of the 1934 fight, in which Baer gave Carnera the most brutal beating he ever took (eleven knockdowns in eleven rounds), and won the heavyweight championship. The eleven rounds are condensed into several of the most savage minutes seen on screen in recent years, and when they...
...author notes that the temporary seats in the Stadium, always filled in the past, have been dismantled and the cheerleaders no longer sport Crimson varsity athletic letters on their sweaters. The Gold Coast Porcellian Club and Max Keezer's used clothing store (now managed by Joe) were all part of the Cambridge scene in the twenties, McCarthy relates...
