About this Item

Digest size paperback magazine (7 1.4 in. x 5 in.). A mildly cheesecakey magazine with articles, photographs that span all interests. Soime fading to front panel, shelfwear, and thumbing to corners, and several small closed tears in cheap paper. Fascinating photographs and articles including the boxing match between Jake La Motta and Tiberio Mitri on one page, and opposite it, a photo of the two boxers' wives, sitting together, watching the brutal match; U.S. vs. Russian Airpower; Girl's Club on the Seine; and a rare article on Alcoholism: The Road Back describing New York City Welfare's Bureau of Alcoholic Therapy and its "Bridge House" headed up by Edward J. McGoldrick, a former alcoholic himself. An 18-bed facility which teaches "excessive drinkers to cure themselves"; Tennis Pro beauty Gussie Moran; Warren Lee's prizewinning but horrifying photograph of a street execution in Shanghai; Old Automobiles; an article on "DP's" (Displaced Persons) finding a home in the United States; a section on dancing (including Jitterbugging); an photo spread on latter-day fabrication of Leonardo DaVinci's then-futuristic machines; the cheesecake section featuring Corinne Calvet; a piece on bee venom's medicinal uses; photostories on baseball; on animal life, and a series entitled "Industrial Images", especially a section on the industrial creation of golf balls. And some cute babies to conclude this very first isue. Seller Inventory # 86987
