Everyone followed the flight of the ball as it sailed toward the end zone, and cringed as the ball bounced off the Harvard receiver's chest--a sure interception.

...betting slips in his handwriting -- did not seem to shame him. Little ever has. Not a 1979 paternity suit that he did not contest, the messy unraveling of his marriage in 1978 (which did not interfere with his 44-game hitting streak), or striking an umpire in the chest, for which he received a 30-day suspension in 1988.

...only a problem if you make it one." He looks as menacing as he did that night in 1973 when he blockbusted Joe Frazier clear off the canvas to win the title. His 19-in. biceps bulge with muscle, his thighs are thick as saplings, his huge 48-in. chest heaves with power. He also has the beginnings of a paunch. Explains Foreman: "The secret to my winning is my eating." By which he means that he has been reborn at the dinner table too. The Big Macs have been replaced by broiled mackerel.
