From the opening bell, young Zivic went after Armstrong's weak spots: his eyes and mouth, puckered with old scar tissue. By the tenth round, the champ was a bleeding blind man. While he stumbled and groped, mumbling "If I could only see-" Zivic slashed him with savage rights and lefts. Through five of the most brutal rounds ever seen in the Garden, Armstrong took his bloody punishment. In the 15th, more from a shove than a wallop, he toppled to the floor-just saved from a knockout by the final bell...
With Prohibition came the era of "The Big Shots." The Capone enterprises, which grossed $100,000,000 yearly, were organized by Johnny Torrio, whose fame has been unjustly eclipsed by his scar-faced successor. Says Asbury: "Johnny Torrio is unsurpassed in the annals of American crime; he was probably the nearest thing to a real mastermind that this country has yet produced." Torrio boasted, "I own the police," had uniformed officers guard his costlier liquor shipments. In five years of gang warfare 500 mobsters were assassinated.

...authorities were notified. Alarm sirens wailed. All over the city frantic Chinese hurried out in the open, crying "Chin pao! Chin pao!" ("The alarm! The alarm!"). In the downtown areas, where shopkeepers had built wooden stalls over the ruins from last May; up on the hill, where the livid scar of a huge incendiary-bomb fire had been covered with a town of mat sheds; across the Yangtze River, where the U. S. Embassy stands-all through the city, the natives milled, and watched for the planes in terror. Only one in four reached a bomb shelter. That...
