amused / sad at ` The then and now of Muhammad Ali '

amused/sad watching `Muhammad Ali feature on BBCi  player :
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00kyqkr/The_Then_and_Now_of_Muhammad_Ali/

Painful of course to see how Parkinsons has damaged his body,
though Ali's thoughts are still as engaging & amusing as ever.

Reflecting on past racism at his home-town restaurant  :
Waiter --- "we don't serve negroes"
Ali ---- "well, I don't eat them either"
