Homosexuals in the U.S. face an array of penalties more severe than in any Western nation outside the Communist bloc. Sodomy between consenting adults is still illegal in 38 states and may result in sentences of up to 21 years and conceivably life; prosecution, however, is very rare. In Georgia, the Sodomy law was recently rewritten to apply to sex between lesbians. Unless cities have ordinances specifically forbidding it, gays can generally be barred or evicted from privately owned housing, without legal recourse.

...this book does contain answers, they are in its spectacular array of photos. There must be 200 of these, mostly in color and mostly by Neil Leifer of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. They cover Ali from his middle teens to the present. They show him fighting, foaming, capering, preaching, blowing his mind at the press like a child blowing dandelion seeds.

Mujib returned to the most tumultuous welcome Dacca had ever seen-and a staggering array of problems in probably the poorest (and most densely populated) country on earth. There were virtually no civil servants and little industry. Ports were clogged, railroads destroyed, the educated elite savaged. Worse, what had not been destroyed in war was soon destroyed by a devastating drought in 1973 and floods last year that inundated three-quarters of the country...
...mile, two-year Bicentennial tour of the U.S. It was the American Freedom Train, a private, nonprofit project financed through $5 million in gifts from five U.S. corporations and billed as "a birthday gift to the American people." The train carried a somewhat indiscriminate array of American artifacts: George Washington's copy of the Constitution, the agreement for the Louisiana Purchase, Will Rogers' lariat, Judy Garland's dress from the Wizard of Oz and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's size 16 basketball shoes...
