A Chicagoist blog entry about public relations executive Dan Edelman mentions a hot dog eating contest covered by Life Magazine. The focus of the 1957 article (available in the Google Books archive) was reversals by children. One letter to Life about the contest demanded that the mayor of the town where the contest be impeached and the American Medical Association censure the town's doctors for allowing the contest to happen.
