...this weather. Now leave me be." California's Ronald Reagan is no braver. Congratulated recently because he seemed to have overcome his fear of flying, Reagan snapped back: "Overcome it, hell. I'm holding this plane up in the air by sheer will power...
...desperately, whimsically, absurdly, cockeyedly, whole-souledly determined to inform, to inform, to inform." Hadden undoubtedly would have agreed.* Luce never confused his love of information with "objectivity," a quality he considered unattainable and undesirable.

He encouraged TIME'S way of declaring things flatly on its own authority and of practicing extremely personal journalism.

...full-time producer of radio specials and part-time sports buff, decided to take the question to the nearest modern oracle: a computer. He asked 250 boxing writers and other ring experts to rate famous pugilists on a scale of 58 variables, ranging from the standard (speed, cutability, punching power) to the subtle (killer instinct, ring generalship, courage). With the help of a few experts, he studied shadowy old films and yellowed newspaper clippings of fights to determine the number and kinds of punches each boxer threw. Then he reduced the field to the 16 top-rated heavyweights, from bare...
