...slugger. At 6 ft. 3 in. and 215 lbs., with the elusive speed of a middleweight and a basic hit-and-not-be-hit strategy, Ali may well be the most graceful big man in boxing history. Frazier, who will spot his rival 3¾ in. in height, a crucial 8?? in. in reach, and 10 or so lbs. in weight, is a swarming, wade-in, bull ish brawler who willingly takes a punch or ten for the chance to score with his bludgeoning left hook...

At a glance from Bernstein, men recognize an extraordinary personality, and women acquire the expression of poleaxed sheep; he exudes sex appeal like a leaky electric...
...Free Headache. Of the 656 corporate domestic bond issues traded on the New York Stock Exchange in 1956, only 44 showed price rises for the year. Among them: Bethlehem Steel (up 30?), Southern Natural Gas (up 16½), Detroit Edison (up 11), General Dynamics (up 8???). Tax-free municipals were even more of a headache. In 1956 alone, $5.4 billion in tax-exempt bonds were floated, bringing the total municipal debt to nearly $50 billion.
