THE MORNING AFTER
This is from the first Ali-Frazier fight in 1971, "The Fight of the Century." I paid $15 to watch it live on TV in Los Angeles, and have long considered it the best $15 I've ever spent.*
She won every round of last night's debate. Sanity beats insanity. (I would say she looked presidential, but I know it is a not done, to comment on how someone looks.)
The image is after the June 20, 2016 New Yorker. It had a cover price of $7.99. I.e., buy two and you have spent more than I did for the Ali - Frazier fight. Go figure.**
Go where you belong from now on – into the dustbin of history!***

* Frasier won in 15 rounds, a unanimous decision.
** $15 in 1971 would be about $90 in 2016. Still worth every penny.
*** Attributed to my old friend, Leon Trotsky, a denunciation of the Mensheviks when they abandoned the Soviet party to the Bolsheviks in 1917.
