...hard rap on him since he served three years in Sing Sing for extortion back in 1937-40. Last week the law pushed over Johnny Dio's well-stocked applecart. In Manhattan, a General Sessions Court judge sentenced Dio and two of his henchmen, Max Chester and Samuel Goldstein, to two years' imprisonment and a $1,000 fine apiece. Their offense: conspiracy and bribery in taking $10,000, plus a promise of $20,000 more, from the proprietors of two electroplating firms in 1955 and 1956 as the price of a worthless guarantee to stop the "labor trouble...
...talking, beyond muttering "I refuse t'ansuh on the ground it may tend ta 'criminate me." But Tony talked anyway-on six wiretaps played by the committee. In telephone talks with a Runyonesque rogue's gallery of obsequious underlings (including his front man, natty Sam Goldstein, who also claimed protection under the Fifth Amendment), Tony Ducks showed that he is a Little Caesar among New York's labor racketeers: as a top gun, Tony Ducks snarled out advice to his hoodlums.

Wearing Panama hats, they muttered mostly about this being a dandy time to get a good deal on a Buick. The clincher came at the fight's crucial moment. As Referee Ruby Goldstein snaffled the bludgeoned Jackson away from his opponent and signaled a TKO, Buick butted in, sealing off to millions of viewers all the activity in the ring. Some 400 letters of protest bombarded Buick...
...knees at the bell. He went down again in the second, again in the ninth. In between, he did some calisthenics, tried a few yards of roadwork to "unlazy" his legs and continued to catch Floyd's furious punches. Midway in the tenth round, Referee Ruby Goldstein called off the bloody farce. While Hurricane was hauled to the hospital to be patched up by a team of urologists, neurologists and a plastic surgeon, Patterson started work for his next fight. In three weeks he is scheduled to meet Olympic Heavyweight Champion Pete Rademacher. Theoretically, he will be defending...
