ADLER REMEMBERS PUGILISTS: Jackson novelist Warren Adler ("War of the Roses") reminisces about the golden age of boxing in his most recent Warren Adler E-sheet. He covered boxing as a reporter for the New York Daily News and the Armed Forces News. Later, as an advertising exec in Washington, D.C., he produced a TV commercial for a new soft drink beverage with boxing greats Joe Louis and Rocky Graziano. The commercial was a flop – and Adler never got paid. “It was worth every penny,” he concludes.
