  • Max Baer, Jr., He Cried and Had Nightmares Over the Incident for Decades Afterwards
    Biography He was born Maximilian Adelbert Baer in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of German immigrant Jacob Baer (1875-1938), who had a Jewish father and a Lutheran mother, and Dora Bales (1877-1938). His older sister was Fanny Baer (1905-1991), and his younger sister and brother were Bernice Baer (1911-1987) and boxer-turned actor Buddy Baer (1915-1986). His father was a butcher. The family moved to Colorado before Bernice and Buddy were born. In 1921, when Maxie was twelve, they moved to Livermore, California, to engage in cattle ranching. He often credited working as a butcher boy and carrying heavy carcasses of meat for developing his powerful shoulders. He turned professional in 1929, progressing steadily through the ranks. A ring tragedy little more than a year later almost caused him to drop out of boxing for good. Baer fought Frankie Campbell (brother of Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer Adolph Camilli) on August 25, 1930 in San Francisco and knocked him out. Campbell never regained consciousness. After lying on the canvas for nearly an hour, Campbell was finally transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he eventually died of extensive brain hemorrages. An autopsy revealed that Baer's devastating blows had knocked Campbell's entire brain loose from the connective tissue holding it in place within his cranium. This profoundly affected Baer; according to his son, Max Baer, Jr., he cried and had nightmares over the incident for decades afterwards. He was charged with manslaughter. Although he was eventually acquitted of all charges, the California State Boxing Commission still banned him from any in-ring activity within their state for the next year.

  • Where Faith, Values and Entertainment Meet
    Where faith, values and entertainment meet By Tony Rossi for The Christophers Special to the Review When I watch a movie or TV show, I want to be entertained by a good story, not pummeled by an overbearing message. At the same time, a story that’s well-told can seamlessly integrate a message that draws me in and leaves me thinking about real- life issues. At The Christophers, we’ve been recognizing books, television programs and movies that tell those kinds of stories since 1949 through our Christopher Awards program. And looking back at some of our recent film winners, social justice themes are often present. Take racism, for example. “42” tells the story of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball when he was hired by the Brooklyn Dodgers. There’s a scene in which Philadelphia Phillies manager Ben Chapman (Alan Tudyk) berates Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) with racial epithets during a game. For 21st-century viewers who don’t understand what African Americans endured in the 1940s, this scene doesn’t provide dry history; it immerses you in that particular time and makes you identify with Robinson. The same can be said about “Selma,” a Christopher Award winner about African Americans peacefully protesting to secure their voting rights in 1965. Actor David Oyelowo, who played Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., relished his role because he knows movies have an impact on the wider culture. In fact, he once traveled to Africa and was surprised to find that even in poor villages, children sometimes have access to a computer screen and are influenced by American TV and movies.
