Today I traveled to New York City by the way of The New York Times dated June 21, 1967. I found on the front page “Clay Guilty in Draft Case; Gets Five Years in Prison” “U. S. Judge Also Fines the Boxer $10,000 for Refusing Induction”. “A Federal District Court jury tonight convicted Cassius Clay [Muhammad Ali], deposed heavyweight champion, of violating the United States Selective Service Code by refusing to be drafted into the armed services. The offense is a felony… sentenced to five years in prison and fined him $10,000… draft boards had had ample reason to deny Clay an exemption from military service on his contention that he was a minister for the Black Muslims… The 25-year-old boxer offered almost no defense against the Government’s charge and did not take the witness stand himself…”

Last week I traveled to Springfield, Massachusetts via The Springfield Union of May 2, 1967. The front page announced “Elvis Presley Ends Bachelorhood”. “Rock ‘n’ roll singer-actor Elvis Presley, who amassed a fortune as a swivel-hipped forerunner of the Beatles and who remained an unreachable dream to his fans, married an Air Force officer’s daughter Monday… 22-year-old Priscilla Ann Beaulieu in a posh Las Vegas strip hotel… why he decided to surrender his bachelorhood, Presley, in a jovial mood, replied: ‘It was about time.’…”
