    Doesn't pretty much every paper in the United States have an Ali spread in the can?

    I know there are about 40 years between the two, but I would assume most places had Bobby Fischer's obit in the can and are now just trying to get facts of his death. The NYTimes already has a 3-page story. Most of it is old background with a few new quotes added to the top.

    That happened in San Antone about four years ago. When I went back this fall, I promised my buddies I'd take them to the scene of the crime. We went, and the place hadn't changed much. I was disappointed when I didn't see her.

    We did the same thing, only we picked our own, though I can't remember my target. It's just preparing for the worst, not a death wish.
