Abraham Jacob Hollandersky
Abe "The Newsboy" Hollandersky (December 3, 1888 – November 1, 1966) became the second American boxer to win the Panamanian Heavyweight Title when he defeated Californian Jack Ortega in nine rounds in Panama City on May 30, 1913. American congressmen, Naval personnel, and canal workers were among the crowd of nearly two thousand who watched Hollandersky gain victory over an opponent who outweighed him by over thirty-five pounds. The "New York Times" announced Hollandersky's best known win the following morning.
Harry Kramer (announcer)
Kramer was an announcer with CBS in New York for 30 years, starting in the early 1940s. His radio credits included "News of the World", "Viva América", and "Hearthstone of the Death Squad". On television, Kramer was an announcer on the 1951 version of "Winner Take All", but his main fame came from two places: first, his stint as announcer for the daytime soap opera "The Edge of Night" between 1957 and 1972; and secondly, his run as announcer on the "CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite" from 1962 to 1971. Kramer was also announcer for coverage of political conventions, space launches, assassinations, and other major stories that unfolded during that period. His run as announcer for CBS ended around the time he was succeeded as "The Edge of Night" announcer by Hal Simms, and as "CBS Evening News" announcer by Bob Hite.
