#13643: NEWS FROM WPIX-TV
Order1962-04-03, WPIX, min.
Jockey Eddie Arcaro to retire, boxer Benny (Kid) Paret dies of a brain injury he suffered in his middleweight boxing fight vs. Emile Griffith in Madison Square Garden in New York City ten days ago, OAS terrorists keep up the violence in Algeria, Elizabeth Taylor to divorce Eddie Fisher, she is romancing with Richard Burton. NOTE: Emile Griffith's career was overshadowed by the fatal beating he gave Benny "The Kid" Paret in their 1962 title bout. The outcome darkened the world of boxing even prompting some network television stations to stop showing live fights. It also cast Griffith as a pariah to many inside and outside the sport. Emile Griffith went on to have a successful career after that fatal fight, but Griffith acknowledged later in life that he was never the same boxer. He would fight merely to win, piing up the kind of decisions that praised by purists but usually jeered by fans hoping for a knockout.
