...other was the National Alliance of Liberals (N.A.L.), led by Komla A. Gbedemah, 56, who was Nkrumah's Finance Minister until the Redeemer turned against him and forced him into exile in 1961. Sophisticated poll watchers expected a close battle. Not the local soothsayers; Busia's first name, after all, means "Friday's Child" in the Akan language, and the voting was held on Friday.

"This kid can't fight," scoffed Walcott. "If I don't whip him, take my name out of the record books." Thirteen rounds later, Walcott was out, knocked senseless by a classic right. Marciano successfully defended his title six times before retiring in 1956, after a career that was as notable for his gentlemanly manners outside the ring as for his ferocity inside...
