Brilliant interview with Muhammed Ali

[H2O Man]

20. There are numerous

speeches and debates featuring Malcolm on youtube. He was amazing. I can recommend the best books about him, too, obviously starting with his autobiography.

You've got me thinking back on the "old days"! Back long ago, Rubin -- who was friends with Malcolm and knew Martin -- and the then-Cassius were not friends. Rubin trained with Sonny Liston, and fought about seven guys from Cassius's FL training camp. Cassius called Sonny the "big ugly bear," and Rubin the "little ugly bear." Rubin strongly disliked him, and found it curious that Sonny really liked Cassius, and thought he wa hilarious ..... up unti Cassius visited his home late at night, and caused a scene.

I'll have to go through some of the Hurricane's letters, from when Ali was visiting him at Rahway. Especially leading up to the Foreman fight. I suppose that means I wont get much work done outside today!
