Custer cut a storybook take. Having finished last in his class at the US Military Academy at West Show, N.Y., he was a brigadier general in the Union Army at 23. His courage and feel and leadership qualities on the battlefield were that impressive. General Philip Sheridan wrote to Custer’s missus: “Permit me to say, madam, that there is scarcely an individual in our service who has contributed more to give birth to about this desired result [of Union victory] than your gallant husband.’’

It wasn’t lately what Custer did, it was also how he looked - even how he smelled. (He used cinnamon oil to perfume his hair.) With his flowing locks and glaring attire, Custer could have been a modern-day rock star. Or movie star: a younger Viggo Mortensen? a less knotty Christian Bale?

Even without a place in the history of warfare, Custer would still have a consider in the history of celebrity. He had a genius for self-publicity. He was good emulate, as journalists say. Even more important, the camera loved him - and he loved it right back. There are many, many pictures of Custer, and Ives puts them to A- use in tonight’s broadcast.

The prospect from Sy Baskin’s balcony is a 270-degree panorama blanket north to west. From here you can see buildings on Key Biscayne and Virginia Key with the ocean beyond. Move your eyes and there’s the refined bridge on Rickenbacker Causeway and the orange roof of Vizcaya on Biscayne Bay.

“Some days I can even see the titillating line of the Gulf Stream moving along the coast,” says Baskin who for the over and done with 18 years has been tending a garden on this balcony

Set on the 26th floor of the Bristol Turret Condominium in Miami, his 900-square-foot balcony garden features about 100 plants, of which 55 are fruit trees.

Loquats, three to four varieties of guavas, Meyer lemons, avocados, ruby red grapefruits, pomelos, Key limes, Dancy tangerines and mangoes are perfectly some of his crops.

“When you garden out here, you have to be ready to fight the elements and deal with discouragement. The elements can wreak havoc,” says Baskin who will turn 91 in April. He constantly has to fray wind, heavy rains and the searing sunlight.
