...came to Madison Square Garden in tough trim-sleepy-eyed Floyd Patterson, at 21 about the most exciting young fighter in the game, and wild-eyed Tommy Jackson, 24, a fistic freak whose boundless energy and impervious head have thwarted most of the best men in the heavyweight division. To prove he was ready for man's estate, young Patterson needed to knock the ears off Jackson...
Lithe and trim at 178 Ibs., Patterson gave away 15 Ibs. to Jackson and came out slugging with both hands. He darted under the amazing (80-in.) reach of Jackson to slash right and left hands to the head. It was like punching a bowling ball. Jackson (193½ Ibs.) merely blinked, plowed forward.

After his world-record dash last week, Dave had hardly caught his breath when he was talking on the telephone to his dad in Fair Lawn, N.J. "Next time do it faster," was Charles...
...London, where he made his first success outside the U.S. 23 years ago, Louis ("Satchmo") Armstrong, trim, happy and 55, returned with his New Orleans-style trumpet. Louis had not been back since 1932, mostly because England and the U.S. mutually refused to admit foreign bands (TIME, March 26). This time he was welcomed on an exchange agreement. happily took his All-Stars into cavernous (capacity: 8,000) Empress Hall to play two shows a night for ten nights. The band was seated on a slowly revolving stage in the center of the arena, and for a full hour...
