Shooting Times. In Angelof's dingy $40-a-month Manhattan apartment, police found the walls decorated with photographs of Hitler, Goebbels and Goring. On a chest of drawers lay the May issue of Shooting Times. Born in Bulgaria, Angelof deserted his country's army in 1965, slipped across the border into Greece, and entered the U.S. as a refugee in 1966. The Central Park episode would not have been so prominently noted had it not occurred on the fringe of Manhattan's safest and most comfortable East Side enclave...
...super-rich may have unloaded our marble mansions on churches, embassies, labor unions and institutions of learning that don't have to pay the taxes or cope with the servant shortage, but we still have plenty of places to lay our heads.

In the National League last week, the St. Louis Cardinals were coasting along with a steady 61-game lead; in the American, the Detroit Tigers were an even brighter prospect with an eight-game bulge...
...Muhammad Ali, Joltin' Joe is still the second-best heavyweight in the world, and there is excitement in his artless approach to his trade. Utterly lacking in fistic science, Frazier is a slugger in the savage style of Rocky Marciano. "I punch and get punched," says Joe. "He lays it on me, and I lay it on him. That's what fightin' is all about...
