This was terrific. Highlights for me were:
-two George Plimpton pieces, one on attending the Moscow 1980 Olympic games, and another essay about the time he took poet Marianne Moore out to lunch with Muhammad Ali;
-a 1948 article about the genius of Branch Rickey;
-a 1973 profile of Boris Spassky after his defeat in Iceland;
-a terrific article about junior hockey in Canada;
-a 1970 - 1970 - piece about the integration of SEC football.

Grade: A-
Recommended: You would need to already like sports and sports history, but if you do, this is a great sampling that covers a good range of eras, and a reasonable mix of sports. It might be a little heavy on baseball, but hey, it's HARPER'S so what do you expect?… (lisätietoja)
