...Yakima Valley let loose a looping right, and it caught the champion, high on the cheek. For four satisfying seconds, the thin crowd in Seattle's Sick's Stadium sensed that it might be getting its money's worth. There was World Heavyweight Champion Floyd Patterson on the canvas. Perhaps this amateur challenger named T. Peter Rademacher had a professional punch after all. It was all so surprising that Referee Tommy Loughran was as flustered as Floyd. He forgot to count...
...Patterson found his feet before Referee Tommy found his tongue. The 22-year-old pro (6 ft., 187 Ibs.) spent the next four rounds bouncing the big (6 ft. 1¼ in., 202 lbs.)

Then in rich, sepulchral tones, Announcer Paige chimed: "Today, just as at other weddings, it's traditional that gifts be given to the bride. This is the moment you've been waiting for. This Bell portable sewing machine...
...Bring something round-we'll have a ball." But Paar's low-toned impudence and highhanded wit often came off engagingly. Reading off late news bulletins, he announced deadpan that Kathryn Murray, the indefatigable hostess of The Arthur Murray Party (TIME, July 22), "will not fight Floyd Patterson for the heavyweight championship of the world." He ribaldly admired the way Golfer Louise Suggs "drops her shorts on each green" and suggested to Hollywood Composer Dimitri Tiomkin some popular lyrics for new movies: "You are a mess, you are my Sweet Smell of Success"; "The day they hanged...
