Thanks to Professor Juliani who diplomatically pointed out that I should not have been referring to the loss of two Italian American Icons within a week, but the death of one, Hank LUISETTI, and a Book Tribute to the other: "MARCIANO: The Rock of His Times". The Book Reviewer titled his article: "Man of the Day, Lord of the Ring"

Rocky Marciano died in a plane crash in 1969. 

All other Comments stand. Please excuse the momentary(?) mental short circuit.

Was it the rushing to fight my way through the daily mass of information, or the accumulated effect of a daily loss of a few hundred thousand brain cells?

In either case, I will rely on my diligent readers to keep me on the "straight and narrow." [;-)

In any case, from the comments I receive, it's nice to see that many of you are "devouring" every word of the Reports.
