Come see Cleveland’s new Greyhound station! (From the March 30, 1948, edition of the Press.) Research for a forthcoming story.

My favorite Leifer story: Tex Maule convinced his editor at SI that it was a foregone conclusion that the Colts would beat the Browns in the 1964 NFL Championship Game. Leifer took this picture well in advance of the game. The Browns won a major upset, so the photo was scrapped…

Now, my grandfather made WWII sound like a really good time. He really lived out the old British saw that the problem with American GIs is that they're overpaid, overfed, oversexed and over here. Joe came back with this letter. (See Alt Text for transcript.)

In fact, it was. Gov. Dick Celeste (who I met years later at a book fair) made a cameo. The title song was by Bruce Springsteen, and a staple on live tours in the 90s. (The movie was originally called "Born in the USA," which Springsteen used for another song...)
