...vowed to carry on the Frazier legacy and "whip Laila's butt"--preferably in September, on the 25th anniversary of the Thrilla in Manila. Ali's response? "That's cute. But first let's see if she can win some fights." She can. In her third win in three bouts earlier this month, she scored a first-round knockout. Explains Joe: "The bloodline's good." The bloodline's not bad for Ali either. Last week she faced her sixth pro challenge in China. In her TV debut (the bout was broadcast on Showtime), Ali stopped a bloodied Kristina King...

...Daughter of Thrilla in Manila be far behind? While a Frazier-Ali bout could be a ratings bonanza, enthusiasts fear it might mar the sport's credibility if it were anything less than a serious meeting of equals.

"It would be easy for me to say yes, beat [Frazier-Lyde] and pocket the cash," Ali says. "But fighting is serious for me." Nonetheless, it's too early to count out such a bout.

While some of those kids are seriously ill, a fairly large percentage simply need to be isolated to prevent the spread of minor illnesses such as pinkeye and chicken pox.

You'd stay home," says Gail Johnson, immediate past president of the National Association for Sick Child Day Care. "But in the real world, when you went...

...hypnotically orchestrated "Dead From the Waist Down," the first single from this second U.S. release, could leave a listener in a bout of ecstatic addiction. It succeeds as one of the few pop songs that uses string instruments without contrivance or false pathos. "I caught a glimpse, and it's not me," rasps Matthews, an utterance worthy of King Lear thrown out into the night. In "Shoot the Messenger," Matthews morphs again to give a convincing invocation of Tom Waits circa his "Rain Dogs" album, albeit with a Welsh twang in tow. Yet overall the album causes a disconcerting flush...

...powerful wisdom from a pint-sized pop icon, the answer is simple. Golf needs to start stroking the American people better than it has in the past. Or else, one day the sport of golf will discover that Americans have responded to its unchanging ambivalence with "What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?" and changed the channel in favor of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" or "Walker, Texas Ranger...
