Great story, Glenn. I love that the photo ended up on Carter's desk, which is probably more meaningful in the long run. It's neat to have an important youthful lesson associated with someone like Ali.

I think the photo that ran had resonance: who else but Ali could spar a white kid, knowing he could give the kid a whupping, in this rural Texas city.

I don’t disagree with that, but I still think the other photo was the better shot.

Also, it looks like the police officer (Willie Mitchell) is picking his nose.
