...followed this with a rare right uppercut. The third round was the only one in which Liston displayed the lethal effectiveness of his Patterson triumphs. That he did not lay Cassius low in the third provides some substance to Liston's contention that his left arm was already badly injured. Crippled or not, Sonny obviously took the round...
Round Five may always remain a questionmark. An apparently sightless Clay, who has alternately claimed that he was gouged by the champion's thumb and blinded by liniment on Sonny's gloves, managed to hold off the lumbering Liston with no more protection than a stiff left arm. Liston landed ponderous hooks to Clay's body and head but their lack of visible effect made the spectators wonder for the first time whether there was indeed something wrong with the champ.

...attracted Khrushchev's attention. Like his mentor, he joined the close-knit wartime coterie of political officers on the crumbling southern front. Rising swiftly after the war, Brezhnev was elected in 1952 to the party's Central Committee and Secretariat, became a candidate member of its executive arm, the Presidium.

Together, the elder statesmen walked slowly beneath Churchill Arch and into the members' lobby: two great national figures moving into the sunset glow of history...
Since last July when Pole-Vault Champion Brian Sternberg, 20, lost control on a trampoline and plunged 14 ft. to a broken neck and complete body paralysis, he has never given up hope of regaining muscle-control. Last week, with partial arm movement restored, he traveled from Seattle's University Hospital to San Francisco to see his first track meet since the accident. "I don't know whether it's going to be fun or punishment," he told reporters. And the news he would go home for good in March also prompted mixed emotions. "I promised myself...
