The most dominating personality and physical presence in professional basketball for the past 13 years, he had been stamped as one of sport's alltime great losers. As his detractors took delight in pointing out, in critical play-off games Chamberlain seemed unable to produce the same heroics he performed so matter of factly during the regular season.

It is a generational saga of American life from the late 19th century to the present, a la Our Town, from Grover Cleveland and his mistress to Masters and Johnson.
