Lindbergh Baby Kidnapped Three words flashed around the world. Three words penetrated the homes and hearts of rich and poor, the high and the lowly, of every nation on the face of the globe. Three historic words written irrevocably into history. Three words that stamped Tuesday night, March 1, 1932, in the records of the world as a memorable date - one ranking in importance with the dates that men remember as significant in the annals of the human race. Three words, in short, that brought fear, and horror, and sorrow and sympathy to millions and millions of persons in all walks of life.

The 1982 Boston Marathon was great theater: Two American runners, Alberto Salazar, a celebrated champion, and Dick Beardsley, a gutsy underdog, going at each other for just under 2 hours and 9 minutes. Neither man broke. The race merely came to a thrilling, shattering end, exacting such an enormous toll that neither man ever ran as well again. Beardsley, the most innocent of men, descended into felony drug addiction, and Salazar, the toughest of men, fell prey to depression. Exquisitely written and rich with human drama, John Brant's" Duel in the Sun" brilliantly captures the mythic character of the most thrilling American marathon ever run and the powerful forces of fate that drove these two athletes in the years afterward."
