...students come from broken homes, still others are dropouts from other schools. But Ben Becker is a hard case himself. A onetime amateur boxer who was Cassius Clay's manager at the 1960 Olympics, Becker has a broken nose, scar tissue around his eyes-and a brain-jolting jab in his fists. A boy who abuses a teacher will be challenged by his principal to a quiet meeting behind closed doors. The problem is usually solved after Becker flattens the youth with a left cross. For purposes of keeping the girls in line, Becker keeps a paddle, with illustrations...
...Clay himself beclouded that fact long ago in a great golden haze of self-generated mythology about his life outside the ropes-his ridiculous, irreverent verses, his portentous prophecies, his jazzy clothes, his religion, his wife, the draft board that he dodges as agilely as he ducks a left jab...
...swirling battle that covered a huge part of the sky," said Air Force Colonel Robin Olds, 44, who led the fighter sweep. The MIG-21s pressed in aggressively on the first three flights of Phantoms, hoping to use their 30-mm. cannon inside the deadly jab range of the American Sidewinder and Sparrow air-to-air missiles.

He earns $76 a week with Operation Head Start in Philadelphia, picks up $10,800 a year as a metallurgical engineer at Ford, and farms 600 acres of Dakota wheat land. He has a lightning-fast left jab, a rifling right arm, and reads medieval metaphysicians. He campaigned for Reagan, booed George Wallace, and fought for racial integration. He can dance all night, and if he hasn't smoked pot himself, knows someone who has. He tucks a copy of Playboy into his concerto score as he records...
Ramparts magazine greeted the New Year with a straight left jab to the public jaw. A full-page ad in the New York Times last week featured a blowup of the January cover: a nauseous photo of a crucifixion complete with a pudgy Jesus and two U.S. infantrymen standing guard with bayonets. The magazine, which came out last week, contains what its management claims are pictures of some of the "one million children killed, wounded or burned in the war America is carrying on in Viet Nam." It also advances another conspiracy theory on the Kennedy assassination...
