...given such a jocular press. Boxing experts noted that 29-year-old Galento had been around for eleven years, had been defeated 22 times, was a slow-moving human tub whose boxing technique consisted of roughhouse butting, wrestling, sticking thumbs in opponents' eyes. They agreed that the little fat man had nothing but a roundhouse left, elephantiasis of the ego and an honest conviction that Louis...
After 1:49 sec. of the fourth round, Referee Arthur Donovan untangled Galento from the ropes, awarded a technical knock out to Louis and dragged Galento to his corner.

...There is no standard diet to fit all ages and classes. A hard-working farmer or laborer needs an abundance of fuel foods such as bread, potatoes and meat. A growing child needs almost twice as much food as his sedentary father. A Southerner needs less starch, sugar and fat than a Northerner. A desk-bound businessman needs practically no white bread, potatoes, cakes and pies. But for health and longevity, eaters of all ages and classes must tuck in one quart of milk every day, a variety of vegetables, fruits, fresh red meat, fish, and eggs several times...
