Testifying before District Attorney Frank Hogan's grand jury ("I have nothing to hide''), he finally admitted that the real power behind the Patterson-Johansson fight was Harlem's Anthony ("Tony Fat") Salerno, 48, according to Hogan "a known gambler, bookmaker and policy operator," and a friend of Frankie Carbo, leading light in boxing's dim underworld. Rosensohn said that Velella was only a front man for Tony Fat (who had found it convenient to disappear), later went on the air in New York City to state blithely that...

The solo lead flew like a badminton bird from one musician to the other...
...Miles Davis Sextet, a well-established jazz combo that got a big hand and rated it.
