Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell were must-see TV long before it became ubiquitous. Individually interesting, together they were mesmerizing. They were profoundly different-young and old, black and white, a Muslim and a Jew, Ali barely literate and Cosell an editor of his university's law review. Yet they had in common forces that made them unforgettable: both were, above all, performers who covered up their personal insecurities by demanding-loudly and often-public acclaim. Theirs was an extraordinary alliance that produced drama, comedy, controversy, and a mutual respect that helped shape both men's lives.
