...never met a man quite like Bonavena−either outside the ring or in it. An unorthodox, wildly swinging club fighter. Bonavena is a granite block of a man who had never been knocked out while winning 46 of 54 fights. He is so crude he can make the classiest opponents look bad. Heavyweight Champion Joe Frazier found out the hard way: in the process of winning two decisions from Oscar, the champ was flattened twice and had to suffer through 25 punishing rounds. Now it was Ali's turn. He was still fresh from a swift third-round...

Outdoor tennis clubs, which once closed in the fall, can now inflate their bubbles and operate throughout the winter...
...cool. The handwritten memos from Hughes to Maheu became less frequent. Not until Hughes was on Paradise Island, though, did the Hughes Tool Co. ("Toolco") executives from Houston−Holliday and Gay plus Lawyer Davis, who frequently act for Hughes on business unrelated to the tool company−make their move against Maheu...
