Eddle Machen, who once managed to backpeddle for 15 rounds with Liston, has been unranked since his recent emergence from a mental hospital. And that brings us to Floyd Patterson. The former champ, victor over such ring luminaries as Tom McNeeley, Brian London, Pete Rademacher, and Roy Harris is now looking for fights with the likes of Billy Daniels and Henry Cooper. The only real difference between Floyd the champ and Floyd the number-seven contender is that he now has to go the bums rather than letting them come to him. And that is a difference. Even for those...
...running for Governor in 1958, Wallace did not campaign as a diehard defender of segregation, but as a candidate who would work to bolster Ala bama's economy, build better schools and better highways. He was defeated in the Democratic primary by John Patterson (TIME cover, June 2, 1961), who did run on an all-out segregationist plat form. In that defeat Wallace learned a lesson.

National's Bud Maytag is an advocate of the single class-but would adopt it only if all other airlines did; Eastern and Delta indicate that they might follow if United succeeds. But United's chief competitors-American, Continental and TWA-are convinced that one-class service will not spread. Last week Patterson's archcompetitor, crusty C. R. Smith, 63, president of second-place American Airlines, made clear...
...fare has greatly simplified United's reservations operations, but more than just business considerations prompted Pat Patterson to introduce one-class service. Two years ago, when a United DC-8 ran off a runway in Denver and hit a truck, 16 passengers died not from the impact of the crash but from burns and fume inhalation after crowded conditions in the coach section prevented them from getting out. Patterson is still bothered by the tragedy. Asks he: "Do narrow aisles and sardine seating provide adequate evacuation of jet aircraft? In all good conscience, just how many passengers...
