...sick sex, gory violence and ear-splitting cacophony. Last week at the San Diego Sports Arena and the week before at the Los Angeles Forum the scene was the same. The lights dimmed and the crowd (size: 12,000 to 22,000; age: 15 to 25) was allowed to roar for a full five minutes before Alice appeared in a Mephistophelean puff of smoke. What followed was certified proof of the Alice Cooper boast: "What we do is make sure that if some kid pays $6 to see a show he's not just going to see some...

Shortly after this revelation, the roar of the great Bull Moose was heard on the front page...
...roar eventually died down except for brief bursts during the replays and when Howard Cosell, trying to reach Foreman, was shown being pushed away by a helmeted Jamaican policeman. As the post-fight hoopla ended and the picture faded from the screen, the lights came on, the fans began to file out. John Kiley started up on the organ and Boston Garden changed back from the scene of a glamorous prize fight into its old grimy self...
