Justin Trudeau scores major upset in Fight for the Cure boxing match over Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau
In a stunning upset, Liberal MP Justin Trudeau brawled his way to a second-round TKO victory over Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau. The referee stopped the fight in the third and final round.

Following his victory, Trudeau was hoisted on the shoulders of his supporters. The slender eldest son of Pierre Trudeau, who was expected to box his way to a points-only finish, instead pounded his foe into submission with a series of unschooled but powerful haymakers. In the final round, his attack became unrelenting and Brazeau was clearly exhausted. (Photos: Chris Wattie/Reuters)

Today, on the occasion of the globe’s most famous and recognizable puppet troupe, the Muppets, finally receiving a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, and in recognition of the Bairds’ pioneering work with marionettes and other fancifully manipulated creatures -— work that inspired the likes of the late, great father of the Muppets, Jim Hensen himself, to create a universe from wood and felt and string — LIFE.com celebrates the Bairds’ brilliance with a gallery of photos from a U.S. State Department-sponsored tour of India in 1962.
“Don’t think of puppets as little instant people,” advised master puppeteer Bil Baird in a profile on he and his wife Cora in the Feb. 1, 1963, issue of LIFE. “They have to be more than people, or less, or sharper, somehow more exaggerated — and then you just can’t beat them for kidding human pomposity and sham.”
