		Although Levinsky lost a 10-round decision, he was beginning to gain a large following because of his willingness to step into the ring with anyone.
		Levinsky fought regularly in 1933 and 1934 with some success; he defeated Jack Sharkey in September 1933 just after Sharkey had lost the heavyweight title.
		Levinsky fought for another four years, although less frequently and not against the type of competition he had earlier in his career.

		For the raucous Norm Levinsky, a 56-year-old aspiring climber who noted he had ``quit drugs before Woodstock,'' it was a mushroom.
		For Levinsky, who's had a rough-and-tumble life, it was a commitment that had opened him up to the magic of serendipity.
		In late 1999, while he was recuperating, Levinsky ``conjured every nickel'' to attend a book-signing and buy a copy of ``A Life on the Edge'' by Jim Whittaker, the Seattle climber who was the first American to summit Mount Everest.

		The King was born Harris Krakow in New York in 1907.

	§49. Abraham Cahan; "The Rise of David Levinsky". XXXI. Non-English Writings I. Vol. 18. Later National ...
		Abraham Cahan’s The Rise of David Levinsky is a better reflection of Jewish life in American surroundings than all American-Yiddish fiction put together.
		The book is especially interesting to Americans since the author sets out with the manifest purpose of taking the American reader by the hand and showing him through all the nooks of the Ghetto.
		This motive, with the author’s genuine literary talent, a most felicitous style, a realistic treatment that is both engaging and convincing, makes The Rise of David Levinsky a monumental work, and surely the most remarkable contribution by an immigrant to the American novel.

		Outside of this handicap, King had none too many qualifications as a fighter, he had shown little if any boxing skill, and was merely a wild puncher.

		Olga Trifonova is eye-catching as the Queen of Shemakha, and she might be able to foment the type of testosterone needed to have a king give up half his kingdom, but she has a very hard time hitting B6 (chapter 11, 51:18), jerking her mouth back and emitting a glassy shrill sound.
