The Heavyweight Raptor

摘要

In his editorial "Requiem for a Heavyweight" (September, p. 2), Editor in Chief Robert S. Dudney borrows his title from the 1956 play, but his theme is from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," specifically Mark Antony's speech with the famous line, "I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him." In that same speech, he goes on to call Caesar's assassins "honourable men"-repeated in increasingly sarcastic tones that soon turn the crowd against the conspirators themselves.
