Across the ring squatted elderly (34), impassive Tony Zale, an old foe. They had put on two spine-tingling battles before. Each had knocked out the other once and this was the rubber match. At the bell, Zale advanced stealthily, pawed at Rocky's scowling face like a cat in a tentative mood. Then Zale's left hook exploded on Rocky's jaw. It was a stunner: Rocky's eyes widened and his knees wobbled. With the fight only 30 seconds old, the crowd surged to its feet...

...Employers in Fear." Day after day, Clement Attlee sat slouched on his spine, taking in five-minute speeches from scores of delegates, speeches for the most part well organized, lucid and obviously sincere.

Four heavy buckshot had plowed into his arm, shattering bone and tearing flesh. Another had entered his chest. But he would live, keep the arm and, with luck, regain...

...Nastiest Ole Man." Last week, hunched in the prisoners' dock, earphones clamped to his seemingly petrified bald head, his body weirdly stiffened (he suffers from arthritis of the spine and hardening of the arteries), he was still a perfect bureaucrat. His only concern was an efficient defense. He worked furiously, scribbling endless notes of rebuttal...
