In reply to the discussion: A Fly in the Ointment [View all]H2O Man
(75,771 posts)39. Thank you, my Wonderful Sister!
My children tell me that the things that I find fascinating are boring to most people. But on other forums, I've noted a lot of attention to the fights between Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali. There's so much misinformation and disinformation in many of the discussions that I decided to get out my old scrapbooks, review magazine & newspaper accounts from 1963 to '65, and write a 4-part article on their rivalry. A good friend of The Champ has a good internet site, and he is going to publish the series there. It takes me a bit longer to write serious articles these days -- especially with a large pile of sources stacked beside me -- but that does allow me some breaks to watch the news!
