Griffith, who also holds the welter-weight crown, was ten pounds lighter and nine years younger, and Tiger simply could not stay with the faster man. Although Tiger jolted Griffith more than once, he failed to follow up his punches...

Most of them tend to embitter spouses, neglect the welfare of the children, prevent reconciliation and produce a large measure of hypocrisy, double-dealing and perjury.

As his current exhibition at Manhattan's Jewish Museum shows, Alechinsky's beasts seem to wriggle out of the North European imagination, with flickery fingers, eyes bugging like fried eggs, toothy grins waning like quartering moons, all struggling through a welter of abstract interlace. Even when Alechinsky signs one of his lithographs, he cannot resist adding a few devilish flourishes with...
