Every time I saw Benny Briscoe he never said hello.
Instead he would reach out and feel my midsection, especially on the sides.
Then he would give me an evaluation of my current condition midsectionwise.

Harold Johnson told me about his fight with Nino Valdez, from "Havana, Cooooooba."
That the way Johnson pronounced it.
Johnson said he beat Valdez using "speed."
