The
Greatest died this June. If you, like me, grew up uninfluenced by boxing
culture, you still had to figure out the man who had been Cassius Clay, and his
poetry. He did something very unusual with the ego. Quote: “Asked by the 1975
graduating class at Harvard University, where he delivered the
occasional address, to recite a poem, he said, "Me?
Whee". Like many of the stories that surround Ali, the
shortest poem in the English language took flights of meaning, with some
claiming he did not say "whee" but "we" to demonstrate
the unity of the human race.”
