...Canzoneri soon discovered the result. Cool and chipper, an 8-to-5 favorite, he brushed away Petrolle's usually lethal right, danced briskly around the ring peppering quick little punches at Petrolle's head. As Petrolle weakened with fatigue, Canzoneri exhibited bravado. He dropped his hands and stuck out his jaw, moving it just in time to make his opponent miss. Petrolle won the seventh round and shook Canzoneri with a desperate right in the 15th. Then he wrapped himself in his Indian blanket while waiting for three judges to vote the decision, naturally and unanimously, to Canzoneri...
...lusty lament about the brave engineer's "farewell trip to the Promised Land." Since the piano-thumper's name was Jones, he was nicknamed "Casey." His first initials, C. S. for Charles Sherman, perpetuated the nickname from those days, 20 years ago, until he became an aviator. Then it stuck as the perfect name for a hard-bitten pilot. It helped make him a glamorous figure in the swashbuckling period of U. S. aviation. It kept alive his fame even after he was withdrawn from the field two years ago and boosted into the executive councils of Curtiss-Wright Corp...
...ANGRY MAN-Leonard Ehrlich- Simon & Schuster ($2.50). If anything could make you believe that old John Brown, hero-villain of Osawotamie and Harper's Ferry, was a great soul, God's Angry Man could.

For 25 minutes the President stuck to the safety of his private car. When he finally emerged, he got a bitter booing. Before his eyes waggled placards: "We Want Bonus." "Down With Hoover." "Hoover-Boloney & Apple Sauce." During the 20-minute drive to the Olympic Arena he was jeered and derided by sidewalk throngs. Inside the hall he was among 20,000 friends yelling and stamping their welcome. On the platform...
...shih (pronounced sheh ky-shee) set gloriously out from Manchukuo's capital fortnight ago, bedight in brand new robes of Chinese silk (TIME, Oct. 24). Hours before his train was due in Tokyo Japanese schoolmarms excused little boys and girls from classes, washed the children's hands, stuck a clean Japanese flag into each chubby fist and let the moppets off in droves to shriek "Banzai! May you live 10,000 years...
