2 IOWANS ALSO DIE IN PLANE.
Newton -- Rocky Marciano, retired undefeated heavyweight champion, died Sunday night when a light plane crashed in a pasture near here. He would have been 46 today.
The retired knockout king was flying from Chicago to Des Moines, with two companions who also were killed when the plane plunged through a low overcast, struck a tree and smashed to earth on a farm near this central Iowa town.
Birthday Party.
Friends said he had been en route to a birthday party for his at a Des Moines steak house.
My bets crashed last night.. 0-2 that count. That's interesting that Rocky died here. I handled some calls about the USAIR crash today, reporting from Iowa.

My trivia: What stupid queer-bait that went to the University of Iowa married a lady older than dirt and is rich as hell. Although, I think it's a smart move because she is pretty foxy dolled up still--and when she's gone he'll inherit everything and will get a new girl most likely. He's basically guaranteed 2 life-time poon.
