I remember listening on the radio. All the people in the know knew Liston would handle Cassius Clay (as he was then known) easily. Show what they know.
This is the 117th anniversary of the birth of Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) whose work was an endless source of Joy in my childhood (I still love to eat green eggs and ham!).
Six of his books have just been withdrawn by Seuss Enterprises for racial slurs contained within (see fourth article on this link):

I am old enough to remember being told as a child of the evil Nazis burning books they didn't like!
Heinrich Heine's line from the play "Almansor" from a century before Hitler was amazingly prescient (and still worth hearing!) -
“Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen" Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.”

Sometimes it has to be done the other way around, though -- the Allies had to kill quite a lot of Germans before they could get on with incinerating Mein Kampf in peace.I am old enough to remember being told as a child of the evil Nazis burning books they didn't like!

Reminding me that today fifty years ago, on March 8th 1971, the 'Fight of the Century' took place in Madison Square Garden, New York, between Ali and Joe Frazier. After the full fifteen rounds, Frazier was declared winner (having almost grounded Ali with the 'Knock of the Century' in round 15).
