Summary

È il 25 maggio 1965, siamo a Lewistone nel Maine. Sul ring ci sono Muhammad Ali e Sonny Liston. È un match che nessuno ha voluto, tanto puzza di bluff e di mafia. Ali piazza un destro apparentemente innocuo, quasi appoggiato, e poi manca completamente l’avversario col sinistro. Il “pugno fantasma” ha appena fatto la sua apparizione nella storia del pugilato e Sonny Liston è appena finito al tappeto. La scena, imperitura icona di una leggenda, è anche uno dei momenti clou del film "Alì" di Michael Mann del 2001. A vestire i panni di Sonny Liston vi è un attore, che attore in realtà non è, e che ha una storia tutta da raccontare: il suo nome è Michael Bentt.

Sir Edmund Orme by Henry James (1843 - 1916) LibriVox Henry James wrote a number of ghost stories -- The Turn of the Screw being the most famous. Did he believe in ghosts himself, as did many of his contemporaries? It's generally possible to find earthly interpretations, Freudian and other, for his ghosts. Sir Edmund Orme, though, is unquestionably a real ghost -- except of course that James's unnamed narrator tells the story in the voice of yet a third man, and the narrator himself passes no judgments on the factual nature of what he is reporting (there's a resemblance here to The Turn of the Screw). The story has to do with two love affairs in two generations, and Sir Edmund, real or imagined, plays a role in each. In the end, then, it's still up to the reader to decide on the nature of the ghost, whether he's real or imagined. James gives you no clear answer.(Introduction by Nicholas Clifford)) Iwaverp's Filmcast Podcast Iwaverp Some episode may be on sports or me telling stories but mostly we'll talk about movies MULLY'S PLACE PODCAST MullysPlace.com Welcome to the MULLY'S PLACE podcast. Having lived in Japan for the past 3 decades I've racked up quite a few stories on life here in the Land of the Rising Sun. Join me and my wife, or me and my friend Dave, discussing various things that go on in our lives. Hope you enjoy the show. GoondaRaj Insiyah Vahanvaty Have you ever found yourself in a dangerous situation where you feared for your life, when you didn't know whether you’d make it out of there alive? My name is Insiyah Vahanvaty and I recently had one such terrifying experience, wherein I was attacked by a mob in New Delhi’s Khan Market in broad daylight! After this experience, a lot of people reached out to me, to share their own stories…. and the more people I spoke to, the more I realised that these incidents are more common than we know. Almost everyone has a story- of something that has happened to them, or to someone they know. There are so many of these incidents, most of which go unreported and undocumented..In each episode of Goonda Raj, I will be sharing one story coming out of this country we all call home. A story that could have just as easily come from someone like you or me. Let’s not bury these stories anymore. Write in to me at and tell me your experiences.
