Phelps: "Great damage has been done and much public distrust of the entire profession has resulted from the senile mouthings of spokesmen and the selfish, shortsighted policies of at least one self-anointed national professional group.

Only in Grand Rapids, Mich., and Orlando, Fla., did equipment fail, and force promoters to return their take. When all the receipts were counted, the TV take of $1,500,000 gave Basilio and Robinson each more than $100,000 to add to their...
