    For close to half a century after World War II, Marty Glickman was the voice of New York sports. His distinctive style of broadcasting, on television and especially on the radio, garnered for him legions of fans who would not miss his play-by-play accounts. His vocabulary and method of broadcasting left an indelible mark on the industry, and many of today's most famous sportscasters were Glickman disciples. In Marty Glickman, Jeffrey S. Gurock showcases the life of this important contributor to American popular culture. 
     
     
     
    In addition to the stories of how he became a master of American sports airwaves, Marty Glickman has also been remembered as a Jewish athlete who, a decade before he sat in front of a microphone, was cynically barred from running in a signature track event in the 1936 Olympics by anti-Semitic American Olympic officials. This lively biography details this traumatic event and explores not only how he coped for decades with that painful rejection but also examines how he dealt with other anti-Semitic and cultural obstacles that threatened to stymie his career. Marty Glickman is a story of adversity and triumph, of sports and minority group struggles, told within the context of the prejudicial barriers that were common to thousands, if not millions, of fellow Jews of his generation as they aimed to make it in America.

    Embarking on a fitness journey as a couple is more than just a way to stay active—it’s a path toward strengthening your relationship while improving your health. Sharing this experience allows you to build a deeper bond, develop trust, and create a partnership rooted in mutual support and growth. Whether you are just starting or looking to enhance your current routine, fitness as a couple can redefine how you connect with one another. 
    The benefits of working out together go beyond physical health. It fosters emotional closeness as you encourage and motivate each other. By setting shared goals, you create a sense of accountability that helps you stay consistent. Overcoming challenges as a team, such as completing a difficult workout or adhering to a nutrition plan, reinforces your ability to face obstacles in other aspects of life together. 
    A successful fitness journey begins with understanding your goals as individuals and as a couple. Open communication is key—discuss what each of you hopes to achieve and identify how your goals can align. One partner might aim to build strength, while the other may prioritize weight loss or improved endurance. Finding common ground ensures that your journey is collaborative rather than competitive.
