...says of his days in the policy game. Not long after his return to Cleveland, he helped promote a charity boxing exhibition, and was soon putting together rights of his own. King's first big-time bout as promoter was Foreman's championship defense against Ken Norton in Caracas in March 1974. Even before that fight took place, King was busy bidding for and eventually tying up the Foreman-Ali showdown. Ali has fought for no other promoter since...

Until this moment we cannot be certain that the movie is going to employ every cliche of antebellum melodrama. The possibility that the perfection of its tastelessness will be marred through oversight or the impulse to provide novelty through omission is an irritant. There is great relief when, at last, our heroine (Susan George) succeeds...
