...Tiger (real name: Richard Ihetu), Fullmer faced someone just as strong and a lot fresher. Of 59 fights since he turned professional in 1952, Tiger had won 21 by knockouts; not once had anyone knocked him off his own feet. Some of the opponents were easy marks-and his list of conquests included such improbable names as Black Power, Mighty Joe, Super Human Power and Easy Dynamite (whom he kayoed in one round). But he won the British Empire middleweight crown in 1958, earned a shot at a world title with sharp, knockout victories over Britain's Terry Downes...
...color projects (his last previous one: the Air Force Academy Chapel, July 27) and a resident of New York City for most of his 39 years (he owns three brownstones), went away for a week before he started on the assignment so he could see his town with a fresher eye. Shooting from roofs, ledges, helicopters, fire escapes, ladders, I beams and the bottom of excavations, Langley took, in all, some 3,000 pictures. For the best of the take, and a two-page story on how New Yorkers are ever making the old place new, see MODERN LIVING, Doing...
...success of his administration. The new Cabinet certainly improves the government's "image," but many critics feel that the new faces are mostly familiar Establishment types, and that, for instance, any practical business talent is lacking among them.

Labor's Hugh Gaitskell called the Cabinet shake-up "a political massacre which can only be interpreted as a gigantic admission of failure." Joseph Grimond, chief of the renascent Liberals, declared: "After twelve years in office, it is too late...
...Liberals man aged to block the Tories' massive majority of 203 M.P.s fell rather lamely, the more so since Tory strategists had every reason to prefer June to September. The Tories recently boosted old-age pensions by $10 a month, and this gift was likely to be fresher in mind. Western farmers, grateful to the Tories for selling of $228 million in surplus grain to Red China, are in a better mood now than they are apt to be after the summer's expected drought. And by fall, if Britain joins the European Common Market, Canada may lose...
...surprisingly, the sentences soon lose their short-story-class sterility, and become tauter and fresher. Before long, Price is writing his own wry, amusing novel, and doing it well. Rosacoke is a likable, skillfully drawn character-young and gangly-pretty, bright enough to see the sour humor in being, as she is, a good girl...
