...while he was still in high school, Mahan was thrown by a bull, which then stepped on his jaw and broke it in five places. He has since had a face bone shattered, a rib broken and three vertebrae cracked.

The clown was lucky to escape with only minor injuries. It was a close call for all concerned...

George Wilcken Romney has the features of an ideal salesman. His broad shoulders, handsome face, and square jaw give him an athletic look. His dark hair, blending into white at the hairline, adds dignity to his rugged appearance. For most of his 59 years, Romney has been a salesman--now he's the politician with the salesman's style.

Clay threw literally nothing in the first two rounds. In the third he connected with a right to Folley's jaw, and in the fifth he fired a long series of left jabs in the challenger's face. That was his finest round. The sixth was again monotonous and the seventh dull until the four-punch explosion and knockout...
