Piece Description
In the past, an American could go almost anywhere in the world, and be looked upon with admiration and respect. With that ideal all but vanished in the world these days, what America needs is a true hero. If anyone could restore some of that respect, it would have to be Muhammad Ali. There's not too many men that could walk amongst the nations and peoples of the world today, and still be considered a hero by all. He seems to walk alone in that respect, with an army of righteous angels hovering over him.
