A list of needed data rounds out each presentation. If a perforate stamp (through 1967) depicting basketball is not listed, one can be certain that the date of issue contained in the original check-list in the March-April, 1969 issue of 'JSP' is generally acceptable.

  • Up the Stairs with Cus D'amato
    The Library of America • Story of the Week Reprinted from At the Fights: American Writers on Boxing (The Library of America, 2011), pages 312–17. © 2011 Literary Classics of the U.S., Inc. Originally published in the Village Voice, November 19, 1985. Copyright © 1985 by Pete Hamill. Reprinted by permission of International Creative Management, Inc. Pete Hamill Although he has earned acclaim as a novelist and screenwriter, Pete Hamill (b. 1935) is regarded as the quintessential New York newspaperman. A col- umnist for both the Post and the Daily News, the onetime high school drop- out eventually became editor-in-chief of both papers, and his journalism has appeared in The New York Times, Newsday, and The Village Voice. This piece, written in November 1985 for the latter on the occasion of Cus D’Amato’s death, echoes his introduction to journalism. Following service in the U.S. Navy, Hamill studied art on the GI Bill, and in 1958 was working as the art director of Atlantis, a Greek-language weekly. In the midst of laying out one edition, he suggested to editor Jimmy Vlasto that running a few stories in English might improve circulation, and the editor challenged him to try his own hand at writing one. Hamill chose to profile a promising Puerto Rican middleweight who trained under D’Amato at the nearby Gramercy Gym. Hamill was paid $25 for what was his first published story, and the occasion boded well for both subject and author. By the time José Torres won the world light-heavyweight title seven years later, his lifelong friend Hamill had become the lead columnist for the Post.

  • The Olympic Ring: a Pound-For-Pound Look at Olympic History
    The Olympic Ring: A pound- for-pound look at Olympic history By Norm Frauenheim– Opening ceremonies mean first bell for an ancient craft older than the Olympics. Punches for medals. Punches for prize- money. Punches for vengeance. Punches for bribes. Punches for national pride. It’s been hit, miss, memorable and misery for as long as anybody can recall. The show must go on, this time in Tokyo for troubled Olympics dubbed the Pandemic Games. COVID is no game. I’m not sure these Olympics will be much of a game either. But the modern version of Olympics has survived world wars and boycotts. It has even survived boxing, an Olympic stepchild again at the brink of expulsion for scandals that have become a permanent scar. Preliminary bouts begin Friday without the usual acronym, AIBA, running the show. In effect, AIBA is on probation for reported financial transgressions, controversial judging and who-knows-what-all. That leaves questions about who and how judges and referees will be appointed. And paid. The International Olympic Committee says it will be running the competition. But if the IOC really knew anything about boxing, the corruption would have ended generations ago. Boxing, which can be as resilient as it is corrupt, survives in spite of itself. It’s there in part because third-world nations don’t need world-class swimming pools to field a team. A pair of hand-me-down gloves can be a down payment on a ticket to the Olympic ring. According to the IOC, boxers from 73 nations are in Tokyo.
