Heavyweight ex-Champion Muhammad Ali succeeded in clobbering Light Heavyweight Champion Bob Foster in Stateline, Nev.-knocking him down seven times and finishing him off with a knockout in the eighth round. "All through the fight, he gave me trouble," Ali admitted. "I got bruised and I got cut, something Joe Frazier or nobody else could do." But as he held an ice pack to his eye, Ali added...

During the Cuban missile crisis, John Kennedy tempted the holocaust and yet considered his actions dovish because many Congressional leaders demanded "surgical strikes" against the Cuban missile sites.
