MADISON SQUARE GARDEN is now controlled by the Graham-Paige Corp., investment company which paid about $4,000,000 for 40% of the sports arena's stock, owned by James D. Norris and Arthur M. Wirtz, who were forced to sell the Garden in compliance with a federal court order...
...Independent boxing promoters, managers and fighters rejoiced last week when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an antitrust decree against the International Boxing Clubs of New York and Illinois.

Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., professor of History and Pulitzer Prize winner, would probably serve in the organizing months, at least, of a Democratic Administration. Stevenson's law partners William McCormick Blair and Willard Wirtz would undoubtedly wind up on his White House staff, along with campaign manager Jim Finnegan and press secretary Clayton Fritchey. Estes Kefauver, as Vice President, seems slated for the post of "super-Secretary of Agriculture" if he fails to make himself an effective leader of the Senate. And a newcomer...
