Clay will probably try hard for a knockout to convince the skeptics that he has a power punch. Since Chuvalo is unable to back pedal, the fight should be a slugfest until the Canadian falls or Ali tires and decides to punish the challenger with his stinging jabs...
...Pedal & Heart. This ability to project the grand design of the music, to crystallize the ebb and flow of its inner voices, is at the foundation of Rubinstein's artistry.

Jacoby, a member of Dwight Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers, argued that proposed 1966 spending by Government, business and consumers was "far in excess of the real productive capacity of the economy. Preventive action is needed now, not after the inflationary process has become established." Arthur Burns, Ike's chief economic adviser, told a U.S. Chamber of Commerce symposium: "While the Government is lecturing the private community on the need for restraints...
