Ghosts of Manila
The Fateful Blood Feud Between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier
Mark Kram
For Mark, Tracey, Kerry, Raymond, Robert,
and Alix, my children—And my wife, Rene
So in the Libyan fable it is told
That once an eagle, stricken with a dart,
Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft,
“With our own feathers, not by others’ hands,
Are we now smitten.”
—Aeschylus
