...Leverett 175-lb final, Ralph Bittman gained a second round TKO after Charles Delony, who had been in command, threw out his right shoulder...
...Baker trial, it was a tribute to Williams' abilities that his 2½-hour summation virtually mesmerized judge and jury-and yet the trial "crucible," in which he so firmly believes, condemned his client. The winner in the Baker trial, U.S. Prosecutor William O. Bittman, is a Williams fan too. Says Bittman: "If Bobby Baker had come to see me with the same facts he put before Edward Bennett Williams, I'm sure I would have fought just as hard-maybe not as well...

In his opening statement, Justice Department Counsel William O. Bittman charged that Baker had persuaded California savings-and-loan-company officials to give him $100,000 as contributions for congressional candidates in the 1962 campaign, then pocketed $80,000 for himself. Called by the prosecution, Kenneth Childs, president of the Home Savings and Loan Association of Los Angeles-the nation...
