Boxing gyms, like saloons and union halls, were typical features of working-class neighborhoods across the ethnic and racial variety. ...................... Film, radio and then television offerred boxing in heaped doses. Remember Eloise, the girl in the much-loved children's book, who lives at the Plaza ? Remember what her nanny does on Friday evenings ? She orders beer from room service, smokes and watches the fights on NBC's Gillette Cavalcade of Sports.
