...fighting the skeptics who rated him a 3-to-1 underdog against Foreman, and the record of recent fights in which, aging and overweight, he had displayed only brief glimpses of his old speed and guile. He was also challenging boxing history; only one other heavyweight, Floyd Patterson, had ever won the championship twice. Finally, Ali, 32, was facing George Foreman, 25, the invincible boxing machine who had won all 40 of his pro bouts and had mowed down his last eight opponents in two rounds or less...

This delightful "anything goes" informality can go too far. Annie Patterson, 59, makes vigorous use of Orange Cablevision to air her "inside" knowledge of a Kennedy assassination conspiracy. Since The Annie Patterson Show often displays "real bad form," Program Coordinator Debi Amos personally supervises the telecasting but says, "I can't stop her because I have no law or rules to stop her with." That dilemma is not unique. In Reading last year there were two programs by the Ku Klux Klan...
