Schmeling and Louis recall historic 1938 bout
A pair of Associated Press writers revisit Joe Louis and Max Schmeling on anniversaries of their famed 1938 Yankee Stadium knockout. Schmeling, now 67, reflects on losses, postwar reinvention with Coca-Cola and mink farming, while Louis, 59, recalls becoming champion again and his later life as a Las Vegas host and public figure.
