I'm sure you've heard about the big fight on Saturday night, and it's
unusual ending in the third round. . .  (The match was called to a halt
after Mike Tyson bit a sizable chunk of flesh out of Evander Holyfield's
right ear, and a second bite of Holyfield's left ear.)

USA Today's Internet site published a list of headlines gathered by the
Associated Press which captured the "flavor" of the evening:
