Because Pastor lasted ten rounds (and in the eighth actually peppered Louis with punches) many fight fans belittled the Negro's talents. Said Pastor's manager, James Joy Johnston: "It took Louis 21 rounds to knock out Pastor-ten in New York [1937] and eleven in Detroit." But the majority of fair-minded fans, aware that Louis had set up such a high pugilistic standard that for him anything short of a one-round knockout was a big black demerit, applauded his prowess. In 43 professional fights-since the night in 1934 when he got $50 for knocking...
...back yard, a dust storm on Fifth Avenue, scrubwomen in a library, girls on a roof drying their hair, men lined up at a bar. Less liked are the strange, bright-colored nudes, hatched and crosshatched in red, green, black, with which he has stubbornly experimented for the past ten years...
...Ten years ago many U. S. leftwing painters turned away from canvas as being too bourgeois, began to slap murals on every bare space they could find. Five years ago, with WPA's advent, most of them got commissions to paint the walls of post offices, law courts, schools, Army posts, hospitals, customs houses.

Y., the first day's sun of year 5700* brought something new-a woman in the pulpit. Helen Hadassah Levinthal, comely in academic gown and four-pointed choir-singer's cap, preached...
...enough, he felt no ill effects, and the searing pain in his arm diminished for several days. His doctor passed the remarkable news on to his colleagues and soon the Pasteur Institute in Paris began work on the use of animal poisons for relief of uncontrollable pain. That was ten years ago. Most practical poison to use, the French scientists discovered, is cobra venom, which is easy to extract, measure and inject. Fortnight ago, in The New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Robert Northwall Rutherford of Brookline, Mass. issued a set of standard directions on the everyday use of cobra...
