As far as Muhammed Ali's story goes, I'll leave that for another GCer to tackle.

A good site to check out for more info is:


Selective Service Website

Hope this helps
$250,000????? A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS???? *shaking my head* Ridamndiculous.

Thanks, RM!! This was VERY informative. I can always count on my GC fam to educate me!!
