[close] SEMI ADVANCED ROLEPLAY | 6+ SENTENCES This letter is for your eyes only. Don't read any further unless you're certain you aren't being watched. Are you alone now? You have been invited to the Crimson Academy due to some form of superhuman ability you've displayed. Don't ask how we know. Don't bother looking up the Academy, either - we're very good at staying hidden. Should you choose to accept, you will receive training in controlling your ability, and if you like, in being a hero. But be warned - there is an organization searching for people such as us. They may be hunting you as we speak. The Academy can protect you from them. This letter is special - it can't be photographed, and within an hour, it will disintegrate. It's simply a precaution. Anyone discovering our secret could result in a massacre. If you would like to attend the Academy, pack your bags and find the nearest Mari Docking Company building. Tell the person at the front desk that you're "looking for a woman in red". They'll know what to do. Welcome to Crimson Academy. Sincerely, Leto Angeles Headmaster

[close] World champion boxer Lew Jenkins fought his whole life. As a child, he fought extreme poverty during the Great Depression in the depths of the Texas Dust Bowl. In his twenties, he fought as a professional boxer and obtained the pinnacle of his vocation—a world championship. Jenkins fought in World War II and the Korean War, and in his later years, he fought the ravages from the aging of an abused body. From Boxing Ring to Battlefield: The Life of War Hero Lew Jenkins details for the first time the extraordinary life of Lew Jenkins, from his difficult childhood to his death in 1981. Despite his talent for boxing, Gene Pantalone reveals that Jenkins often fought and trained through drunken stupors. After wasting his ring title and all his money, Jenkins found purpose during World War II and the Korean War. He fought in major battles that included D-Day, Bloody Ridge, and Heartbreak Ridge, and his efforts earned him one of the highest decorations for bravery, the Silver Star. Unable to find meaning in life at the peak of his boxing success, Jenkins discovered values to which he could cling during war. From Boxing Ring to Battlefield features exclusive interviews with Lew Jenkins’ son and grandson, providing a personal perspective on the life of this complicated war hero. The first biography of Jenkins, this book will fascinate boxing fans and historians alike.
