In the fall of 1954, a large part of the U.S. public is learning what dedicated sportsmen have been saying for years: that Saturday's college boys play a game, while Sunday's pros practice...

He merges sections dominated by Parisian scenes, Johnson gazing at Taylor, wild parties, and family conflict over the baby.
