Muhammad Ali glowed in a white satin robe while Joe Frazier menaced in crushed velvet with "Smokin' Joe across the back. Still, the two ex-champ fighting last week in Madison Square Garden were all but lost sartorially to their fans. It was a crowd of funk-furred and metallic-threaded celebrities, including Chanteuse Bette Midler in jeans and mink, New York Knick Star Walt Frazier in a bold red and white blazer, Actor Jack Nicholson in loud pin stripes, Barbra Streisand in a sombrero, plus Senators Edward Kennedy and John Tunney in mufti.

Sexually liberated by the seventies, the old man recounts his slow development 200 years of breast-feeding. Listing great discoverers of history, he mentions Onan--"He discovered himself." But after relating his sensuous experience with Dolly Madison in a vat of ice cream--"My tush was cold for a week" he cracks a stale Playboy joke: "The presidents if they're not doing it to their wives, they're doing it to the nation...
