My uncle, being a father, was my intro to boxing and boxing books. I was first exposed to Muhammad Ali as a young child watching some old bands in my uncle's house. I remember thinking how he could be the greatest when he lost so many times. Of course, the undefeated champion beats several times champion every day of the week. I remember watching Ali light the Olympic flame in Atlanta as a 12-year-old and wondering why this guy was a hero, why he loved so much. Then I read The King of the World: The Rise of Muhammad Ali and the American Hero (1998) by David Remnick. Its been more than 15 years since I read this book, shortly after it was first published. As anyone who has read any Remnick will know, they are written with a style and imagination that describes all their work. It's a great book.

    scientific work. It was to this aspect of ophthalmology that he gave most of his time and to which he made many notable contributions. His first important paper was “ Über die eitrige metastatische Ophthalmie (Graefe Archiv 1894,40,III: 1-129) [Suppurative Metastatic Ophthalmia],” This paper is a model of what a completed investigation should be. It gives a detailed picture of the disease, the bacteriological findings, and the pathological changes, based upon experimental and clinical data, and remains to-day the classical paper on this subject. It was awarded the Graefe Prize by the Heidelberg (now German) Ophthalmological Society. This was followed in 1895 by the “ Etiology of the Serpiginous Ulcer of the Cornea,” in which he showed the important role played by the pneumococcus in the production of this condition. Then in 1896 came the discovery of epidemic pneumococcus conjunctivitis and diplobacillary conjunctivitis “Beiträge zur Aetiologie der Bindehautentzündungen. Ueber chronische Diplobacillenconjunctivitis. (Ber. Ophthal. Ges. Heidelberg 1897,25:140- 155) [simultaneously with Victor→Morax]. In 1902, based upon the enormous experience acquired in Rostock, he published “ Das Trachom,” an exposition of all the various manifestations and complications of this plague and the best means of dealing with it, both individually and as a social question. The humanitarian and philanthropic aspect of the man was shown first in 1905 when he used as his subject for a Rectoral address “Blindness and Care of the Blind.” In this subject he showed a continuous interest and always used his great influence to bring about an amelioration of the conditions of life for the blind in all social levels.

  • Designing San Francisco
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction Land and Landscape In the years spent researching a book, there are always small stories that stick with you, disproportionate to their size. I found one such story in a mundane San Francisco Examiner clipping collected by banker David Rockefeller’s New York staff. That 1970 article carried the headline “High Rises Favored by Mellon.” It was filed among hundreds of other clippings documenting newspaper perspectives on Embarcadero Center, a large-scale urban renewal project of office towers and retail space under construction on San Francisco’s waterfront. San Franciscans often called Embarcadero Center “Rockefeller Center West” because David Rockefeller was a lead investor and because of Embarcadero Center’s design. This moniker sealed an association with the famous 1930s business complex in distant midtown Manhattan. On October 8, 1970, the city of San Francisco’s chief administrative officer, Thomas Mellon, spoke to a Sierra Club audience about high-rise development at an event hosted by the San Francisco College for Women. Mellon was alone on the eight-person panel in his outright endorsement of skyscrapers. “Don’t have hangups that just because a building is high, it might be ugly and can’t be beautiful,” he told the crowd. “Look at New York,” he implored. The room erupted in “general, derisive laughter.” New York had “the greatest examples of archi- tecture in the world.” Consider Rockefeller Center and the RCA building, he continued.

    No TRUE SECRETS are lurking in the landscape, but only undisclosed evi­ dence, waiting for us . No true chaos is in the urban scene, but only pat­ terns and clues waiting to be organized. All that we may soon become, our future, is out there shifting about, more or less ready to be found. Strange objects heave themselves into view and give off odd signals; familiar actors change costumes and shift roles; the action moves; the tempo changes. Cities, in short, are forever rewriting their repertoires . And where are we? Grasping at straws, clutching yesterday's program, swamped by today's expert view, clawing at the newest opinion polls, but neglecting that limitless, timeless, boundless wealth of visible evi­ dence that merely waits in a potentially organizable state for us to take the hard look, to make the next move. Experts may help assemble data, specialists may organize it, professionals may offer theories to explain it. But none of these can substitute for each person's own leap into the dark, jumping in to draw his or her own conclusions ( fig . 1). Full of booby traps is that darkness, but one must leap into one's own scene before uncovering the unity and continuity that lie half hidden in everyday happenings and workaday views. Whole industries of propagan­ dists, many armed with official powers, push and shove to intrude their views ahead of our own. But none of these can match the power of the public's collective eye and its visual consensus. lntroduetion I ntroductionlntroductionl ntroductionl ntroductionl ntroductionl ntroduction 13 1.
