...clear, cool evening last June, Diane and Herbert Rang were married in Los Angeles. After the ceremony at the West Adams Presbyterian Church, the young couple, both of Korean descent, led the way into an adjoining hall for the wedding banquet.

Stubbornly, Charles refused to go down. When the bell rang at the finish of the 15th round, he was still swinging. But the bumbling, ham-handed strongman from Brockton, Mass, was still the heavyweight cham pion of the world - a world in which good heavyweights are rare...
