Wastepaper Figures. "Strange," wrote Beckmann in his diary in 1947, "that in every city I always hear the lions roar." He loved the street-scene turmoil and crammed his major canvases with crowds of jostling, uncongenial characters. Son of a Leipzig flour merchant, Beckmann was already a success at the age of 30 when World War I broke out. To avoid killing, he volunteered for the medical corps. Still, the constant exposure to slaughter, which he often drew, punctured his optimism so destructively that 30 years later he wondered if war had wounded his soul...
...suit, added informatively that the original book, heretofore ignored by the university, "couldn't be funnier." Everyone waited to see who would have the last laugh, but preview audiences in Hollywood and Manhattan were already spreading the word that John Goldfarb had handily outFoxed itself long before the roar from South Bend. It is not simply a bad movie; it is a truly breathtaking display of tastelessness, ineptitude and wretched humor, crudely written and performed as one long leer. Only with a break like getting sued did Goldfarb appear to stand much chance at the box office...
...cleaning ladies leave their office buildings and Broadway's still a traffic jam. An hour later the drunks roar in bars and continue until 4 when they're spewn upon the city streets and gobbled, many of them, by pimps and whores who've waited all night for their exodus. Night club shows end earlier, threeisn, a fine time for a walking tour of midtown. By five the bartenders are wending homeward, and pigeons strut unchallenged down Park Avenue.

...cheers started when Snell breezed through the first quarter in 56 sec. They became a roar when he turned the half-mile in 1 min. 54 sec., setting his own blazing pace, running easily in that long, loping stride of his. At that rate, he would have an incredible 3-min. 48-sec. mile-if Odlozil and Davies could drive him on. Then Snell started to pull away-5 yds., 10 yds., 15 yds. Odlozil and Davies struggled to keep up, but they were fighting for wind. Snell would have to do it alone. At the threequarter mark...
...country, and his century, as First Lord of the Admiralty and Prime Minister through two world wars. "It was the nation and the race dwelling around the world that had the lion's heart," he declares. "I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar." In a masterfully edited collection of stills, family albums, grainy vintage newsreels, and sparkling new color footage. Producer Jack Le Vien (The Black Fox) shows the great events in which Churchill played so commanding a role, from his tour of duty as a young officer in India to the disastrous Dardanelles...
