...rain, I mean, I have seen it. I'd like to have my son--he's eight years old--see it." As a counterpoint to this hopelessness a robust Joe Louis is shown lustily chopping wood in his training camp and making sanguine predictions about his upcoming bout with Max Schmelling...
...money will be made elsewhere, and it will be needed. For his 15 rounds-or less-in the ring, Frazier has been guaranteed $2 million. Ali will, of course, do better. His contract with Impresario Don King, the bout's promoter, calls for more than twice that sum.

So self-hate, which is here one Hemingway hating another, is crucial. Some of the most ugly and malicious acts imaginable are acted out by Hemingways on Hemingways. And why do they hate each other. It's hard to fell, unless they've jealous of each other's success. Stardom seems to be the thenic here Hemingway could be a TV personality except for the few matador...
