Dark doings down South. For one thing, quite a few women in the small town of Ellen ton, Ala., are susceptible to rape. When the Ellenton citizens are not raping, they are running straight through the whole bloody catalogue of violence-punch-outs, castrations and murders.

Soon it became clear that Ali had constructed a trap. All summer and fall he had been developing granite abdominal muscles with a grueling regimen of calisthenics, spending an hour every morning hardening his gut by doing sit-ups with his legs held up at a 45 degree angle or while his limbs were pumping back and forth in a bicycle-pedaling motion.
