Government was Columbia Gas & Electric Corp., which supplies manufactured gas, natural gas and electricity to some 1,326 cities and towns in Indiana, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York.

Like a dentist trying to get his pliers into the mouth of a terrified, wriggling patient, Louis stalked around the ring watching the bobbing head and flailing elbows of Uzcudun. waiting for the moment when the Spaniard's jaw would offer a fleeting target. The moment finally arrived. The blow that ended the fight was the sort that a fat bartender lays into an objectionable drunk. Its progress was slow, inevitable, evident to all present. It laid Uzcudun flat on his back. It also opened his cheek, drove one of his teeth through...
