Can You Return A Water Damaged Ipod

An episode from the life of Rudolph Valentino Rodolfo

Valentino, Dempsey, Delmont, 1925

August 1927. Violently attacked by Chicago Tribune, Valentino sent unknown journalist, of course, called him Roseo powder puff this letter:

E 'at least the second that you make rude personal attack against me against my own race and against the name of my Father.
you denigrate my Italian ancestors, cast ridicule on my Italian name; to question my masculinity.
In exchange I call you a despicable coward and to prove which of us is the best man I challenge you to a personal meeting. It is not the challenge to a duel in generally accepted sense, would not be legal, but boxing is legal in Illinois, as well as the fight. So I challenge you to a boxing match or fight in a typically American to prove which of us is the best man.
would prefer that this meeting will happen privately, so that can give you the lesson you deserve, and that is why I immediately made it clear that no challenge for the sake of publicity. Send a copy of this challenge to newspapers, simply because I have: no doubt that a - man - so coward to write to me what you wrote, would not respond unless forced to do so by the press. I do not know who you are, and how high you are, but I guarantee that I maintain the challenge even if you were big and strong like Jack Dempsey.
I can find right now, or give you a reasonable time to prepare, because I realize that your muscles need to be flabby minded cowardly to judge, and I think you need to replace the vitriol that flows through your veins with blood - if there is no place in your body for the good red blood to the muscles and masculine. I want to make clear that I have no grudge against the Chicago Tribune, although it seems to me a mistake to let such a cowardly use of its columns, as did this man.
The fight is personal and small against the writer of poison pen. The Tribune by Miss Mae Tine has treated me kindly, and my work and sometimes very favorably. I gladly accepted the criticism and comments on my work as an actor I react against any attack that touches touches me personally or my family.
We hope to have the opportunity to show that the wrist with the bracelet as a slave can land a fist on your jaw trembling and teach you the respect that is due to every man, even if the man prefers to keep his face clean are, with the deepest contempt for you. Rodolfo Valentino


PS - I'll be back in Chicago in ten days. You can send your response to New York, by the United Artists Corp. 3739 7 th. Avenue.

And because this Valentine remained anonymous, simply print the branded, after ten days, the following lines:

It 'obvious that you can not accept a fight. Claim of courage from you is like trying to draw blood from a turnip.
The heroic silence of the writer who attacked me without any provocation on my part on the Chicago Tribune does not leave any doubt as to his absolute lack of any talent worthy of a man. I feel quite satisfied, because I consider his silence as a tacit retraction and an admission that they are forced to accept, though not quite to my taste.
