Ali Tribute #3: Conviction

"After me, there will never be another . . ."  (Muhammad Ali)

Of the US Government's attempts to jail him for draft-dodging, Ali said:
"They did what they thought was right, and I did what I thought was right."

In this, here are echoes of the advice given by old man, Polonious, to the young man, Laertes:  "And this above all, to thine own self be true . . ." (Hamlet I, iii, 55-81)

True now, as it was then.
