Right On. The second round was pure massacre. Foreman rushed in for the kill, connected with a hard chopping right and Frazier caved in. After taking the mandatory eight count, the champion tried to cover up; the challenger clubbed him down again. Foreman gestured to Frazier's seconds to toss in the towel, but the champion somehow pulled himself up on the ropes and Referee Arthur Mercante signaled the fighters to continue. Foreman obliged by hitting the nearly helpless Frazier with a head-snapping right cross that put him down for the sixth and final time. Mercante stopped...
...Cleo, like pure-malt Scotch and the metric system, is only beginning to catch on. She and Johnny are scheduled to give a concert in April at Manhattan's Carnegie Hall; that appearance will be followed next fall by a month-long American tour. For both events, Cleo manages to be her own worst promoter. "When I hear myself, I don't like it," she says. "I can't get out what I hear in my head.

For every pure and major act of creation, like Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson's Seagram Building (1958), there have been a hundred ripoffs: bland, scaleless crates with their $50 per sq. ft. marble foyers and 100 Sheetrock offices, their eggbox planning, insipid detail and graceless proportions. The International Style expended itself...
Which manges to convert Jeremiah Johnson to pure legend. He takes his own revenge on the Crows, and seldom since Custer died for our sins have so many Indians died such gruesomely efficient deaths as they do now Johnson becomes "big medicine" for the Indians. As a settler remarks: "Some say he's dead; some say he never will...
