...extravaganza he touts as the "Thrilla in Manila." In fact, the expedition resembles nothing so much as a royal tour. Ali has become one of the most readily recognized individuals in the world. Since he inaugurated his gaudy Third World road show with a knockout of George Foreman a year ago in Zaïre, he has parleyed with Presidents and sheiks. What's more, his pitchman's prattle and irrepressible posturing have never failed to captivate the common...

(This is not a basic question, but an idle one, suggested to Sheed by Ali's odd stratagem in Zaire of letting George Foreman punch him in the belly for several rounds.) If Ali really does receive his energy and impulses directly from the TV camera's red eye, as Sheed seems to believe, what will he do to get the Eye's attention when he can not bang heads...
