  • Muhammad Ali Biography
    Muhammad Ali Biography “I’m not the greatest; I’m the double greatest. Not only do I knock ’em out, I pick the round. “ – Muhammad Ali Short Biography Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. on January 17, 1942) is a retired American boxer. In 1999, Ali was crowned “Sportsman of the Century” by Sports Illustrated. He won the World Heavyweight Boxing championship three times, and won the North American Boxing Federation championship as well as an Olympic gold medal. Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He was named after his father, Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr., (who was named for the 19th century abolitionist and politician Cassius Clay). Ali later changed his name after joining the Nation of Islam and subsequently converted to Sunni Islam in 1975. Early boxing career Standing at 6’3″ (1.91 m), Ali had a highly unorthodox style for a heavyweight boxer. Rather than the normal boxing style of carrying the hands high to defend the face, he instead relied on his ability to avoid a punch. In Louisville, October 29, 1960, Cassius Clay won his first professional fight. He won a six-round decision over Tunney Hunsaker, who was the police chief of Fayetteville, West Virginia. From 1960 to 1963, the young fighter amassed a record of 19-0, with 15 knockouts. He defeated such boxers as Tony Esperti, Jim Robinson, Donnie Fleeman, Alonzo Johnson, George Logan, Willi Besmanoff, Lamar Clark (who had won his previous 40 bouts by knockout), Doug Jones, and Henry Cooper. Among Clay’s victories were versus Sonny Banks (who knocked him down during the bout), Alejandro Lavorante, and the aged Archie Moore (a boxing legend who had fought over 200 previous fights, and who had been Clay’s trainer prior to Angelo Dundee).

He had a hard upbringing, under the gaze of a strict father who threatened him with the belt if he caught him backing off from a confrontation. 'I used to run from fights,' he told American writer Peter Heller in 1970. 'And papa would see it from the steps. He'd take his belt, he'd say "All right, me or him?" and I'd go beat the kid: His father worked wherever and whenever he could, in shipyards and factories, sometimes as a welder, sometimes as a carpenter. 'I remember nine dollars a week paychecks,' the youngster recalled. 'Me, my mother, my step-brother, and my father and whatever hangers-on there were...there were always floaters in the family.' Pastrano was an overweight child but, like millions of youngsters at the time, he wanted to be a sports star like baseball's Babe Ruth.

  • Orientalia 5 John Randall (Books of Asia) 1 “European Licentiousness, Commercial Frauds, Pride of the White Caste Are Too Familiar to the Natives...” [Anonymous]
    India & Pakistan Orientalia 5 John Randall (Books of Asia) 1 “European licentiousness, commercial frauds, pride of the white caste are too familiar to the natives...” [Anonymous]. What shall we do with the Musulmans? By a friend to Muhammadans but not to Muhammadanism. , [Calcutta], Sanders, Cones & Co. First edition. 8vo (20.5 x 13 cm), pp.10. Disbound. First page a little soiled, last page with a small ink blot. [204369] £475 A remarkable pamphlet written by an anonymous Englishman, perhaps a missionary, at Calcutta, denouncing the failures of British policy in India in light of 1857’s bloody events. The author asks three questions: “Are the Musulmans incapable of improvement?... Are the Musulmans to have only coercion, no enlightenment?... Are the Musulmans to be excluded from all knowledge unless they acquire it through the English language?” The answers are scathing: British missionaries with poor Urdu are incapable of addressing local religious controversies, the British policy of educational segregation and maintenance of a traditional Muslim curriculum is pernicious, and the temptation to repress Indian Muslims after 1857 is futile. “The Musulmans.. in Bengal.. are on religious and political grounds inveterate foes to British supremacy in India; all their recollections of the past, and the mental atmosphere with which they are surrounded, tend to perpetuate those feelings of hostility... Shall our policy towards them, as many advocate, be only the sword and nothing but the sword - coercion, no enlightenment -... and let them see that they have nothing to expect from England, but a state of semi-slavery.” British policy in Ireland over the previous three centuries is the author’s stinging example of the inevitable failure of a coercive policy while the successful integration of Irish Catholic émigrés to the largely Protestant United States is cited as a positive example.
