Both papers claim that they investigated the charges and found them unwarranted, so refutation or corroboration is likely to come only in the libel trial-if the case ever reaches a courtroom. Libel suits, and the threat of libel suits, are an embarrassed public official's reflex response to exposure. Yet few suits ever reach the trial stage, particularly in the light of recent Supreme Court decisions involving libel of public figures. To win, Alioto must prove malicious intent or utter carelessness in checking on the part of Look, Carlson and Brisson. Butts won his case because the Post...
Oswald C. J. Hoffmann, 55, chairman of the Congress, is a jowly, Laughtonesque spellbinder who attracts some 30 million listeners to his weekly Lutheran Hour radio sermons. A onetime Lutheran pastor and college teacher, Hoffmann was a public relations director for the Missouri Synod Lutherans when he joined the show in 1955.

...talk is brilliantly accurate. The true pathos of fighting as a subsistence trade, he shows, comes not from scheming and exploitation but from the slow corruption of courage and spirit. "Fat City," as fighters sometimes call success in boxing, is bankrupt. The long sleek cars, the sweet shock of public recognition, the feel of silk on skin is, for most fighters, pure celluloid fantasy. Their daily rounds are marked instead by steady pain and a sameness that is itself the mark of most hells...
