Dec-18-14 Jeremy Lim    unferth: my favorite Plimpton moment is in "When We Were Kings," when the filmmakers zoom in on a still photo of Plimpton & Norman Mailer with their mouths agape, in disbelief as Ali comes off the ropes and KOs Foreman. about the 6:20 mark here, though the whole thing's worth a watch if you ...      Dec-09-14 Carlsen-Anand World Championship (2014)    unferth: I'd think that in evaluating great players over their body of work, the sample size would be enough to obviate most of these concerns.      Nov-19-14 Jose Raul Capablanca    unferth: <MissScarlett> Interesting. Winter's note says, "The present list comprises, for the most part, the earliest citations given in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), although some additional headwords and other complementary material are included.
