...toothache, Patterson had no foundation for absorbing a punch, much less for launching one. Florio got Patterson to revert to the classic, stable stance, with the left foot in front, the right foot in back. To increase Patterson's ability to take a punch Florio strengthened his neck with special exercises that expanded his collar size from 16½ to 17. A diet of steak, lamb chops and beef stew boosted Patterson's weight by 8 Ibs. to a solid 190. Any sparring partner who knocked Patterson down with a right hand got a bonus...

"This is our messenger of good will," he cried. But, as the crowd sat in stunned silence, the bird fell to earth with a small, feathery thud, declining to fly. With such inauspicious symbolism did South Africa's Prime Minister Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd return last week to public life, two months after an assassin's attempt...
