...Grunt & a Click. Challenger Liston is the most controversial figure to fight for the heavyweight championship since Jack ("Li'l Arthur") Johnson, the first of the great Negro champions and a man whose full-blown arrogance inspired fans to cry for "a great white hope." Semiliterate, surly and suspicious, Liston starts telephone conversations with "It's your dime, start talking," ends them without warning, on a grunt and a click.

Come fall, bulldozers will grunt across the grounds, toppling the tall cypresses and pepperwoods. Tons of earth will be dumped into the swimming pool in which wobbly guests once cooled their hangovers. Soon, sightseeing buses will drive along the curve of Sunset Boulevard between Schwab's Drugstore and the gabled Marmont Chateau, with rubberneck guides remembering nasally: "Alla Nazimova lived here once. Paramount built her a mansion. The swimming pool...
