I do, it was on ABC, as I recall, and I believe Ali was ringside with Howard Cosell. The sort of thing that would be unthinkable today.

heck, I can't remember the last time I saw any boxing outside the Olympics on a U.S. network. CBS carried an undercard fight for a Showtime show about 10 years ago, and that's all I got.

If owned a publication, I would fire any copy editor who insisted the reporter included the vaccination status of someone who died.

I had a precursor to the Fireman grill. Cook burgers on little ridges on the top and bottom when you closed the lid. All the grease collected in those ridges. It was forking nasty when you left it in your apartment over semester break without cleaning it.
