...Fattig of Atlanta. A shy entomologist, Fattig practically made a second profession of taking the stand when soft-drink bottlers were sued when bugs were found in their beverages. Expert Fattig would explain that eating an insect could be harmless, then he would plop a live roach in his mouth and chew it up. The demonstration was invariably impressive, but most trial lawyers agree with San Francisco's Jake Ehrlich, who looks not for stuntmen but for experts with "a pleasant demeanor, good solid judgment, some learning, and the sense to keep quiet at the right time...

All anybody knows is that, at 22, Cassius Marcellus Clay's mouth and magic have cornered the world championship and most of $1,000,000-$600,000 from last week's fight alone. There is no telling how much more money Clay can make if he decides to give Sonny Liston a return bout. There is the unsettled matter of his Army service, and there are rumors of a fox in his future.
