...very confident Sonny Liston took the heavyweight championship of the world from Floyd Patterson last night in just 2:06 minutes of the first round with an awesome barrage of body blows that tore the defending champion apart. Weighing twenty-five pounds more than his opponent, the immense Liston never gave anyone the idea that he was going to lose. He missed a couple of tremendous swings against the quicker person as the round opened. After 2:00 minutes, however, he connected with a short right to the head, putting the former champ off balance...
Roseveare's superior. Archbishop of West Africa Cecil J. Patterson, defended Roseveare's criticism as "temperate and necessary." But last week Interior Minister Kwaku Boateng called Roseveare on the carpet, ordered him to leave the country within nine hours; then for bad measure he banished Archbishop Patterson as well.

Burgess, once president...

"It's not the Houston gogo; the drive is here but the brashness is not." Much of Atlanta's stability under change comes from its business leaders, such as Robert Woodruff, Coca-Cola's retired chairman, and Richard Rich of Rich's, the South's largest department store, who have long made no-nonsense civic enterprise an Atlanta tradition. "This is not a playboy's town...
...cultural leaders. The city recently suffered a setback of another kind when voters turned down an $80 million bond issue to finance a wide variety of home county improvements, including an elaborate cultural center. Last week the leaders were blaming the defeat only on themselves. Said Editor Patterson: "It was overconfidence. We had succeeded for so long I thought we couldn't fail. Therefore we didn't spell it out to the voters the way we should have. Next time we'll do it right." On the basis of past performances, there seems every chance that they...
