  4. Over the years Muhammad transcended from a boxing champion to a champion of humanity. He has hand-delivered food and medical supplies to the Harapan Kita Hospital for Children in Jakarta, Indonesia, the street children of Morocco, and an embargoed Cuba. He has participated in goodwill missions in Afghanistan and North Korea, helped secure the release of 15 US hostages in Iraq, was special envoy to Africa, and sought the truth on POWs and MIAs in Vietnam. “Muhammad Ali's 65th Birthday on January 17, 2007.” March 16th, 2007. <http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itw/infomark/ 849/108/3091666w19/purl=rc1_STO_0_A156789956&dyn=4!xrn_6_0_A156789956?sw_aep=s0940>. Muhammad Ali… will be turning 65 years young on January 17, 2007. Fans, friends, and admirers from around the world are invited to…send him a personal birthday message during the month of January… Visitors must use the form provided on the Ali Center's website, www.alicenter.org, to submit their personal message. All birthday wishes will be compiled into a gift collection for Muhammad. “Muhammad Ali's 65th Birthday on January 17, 2007.” March 16th, 2007. <http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itw/infomark/ 849/108/3091666w19/purl=rc1_STO_0_A156789956&dyn=4!xrn_6_0_A156789956?sw_aep=s0940>.

  5. The sad thing is that [The Rolling Stones] connived in the censorship... After all these years it seems reasonable to concede the point that [they] weren't ever revolutionary lefties engaged in a battle to overthrow the state. But the real political divide back then was exactly the same as it is now, in retrospect--between authoritarianism and libertarianism. So by conniving in their own censorship, they have proved themselves to be every bit as quiescent and boring as the most recent crop of young rock bands. Liddle, Rod. “Blue-Collar Blues.” March 16, 2007. <http://find.galegroup.com/itx/retrieve.do?contentSet=IAC-Documents>. Ease of UseAm I able to use this source?Does this information make sense? These “safe” acts [The Beatles and the Rolling Stones] are the same ones that the NFL would have been horrified to put in front of viewers 40 years ago. What many people have forgotten or fail to realize is that, at the time of Super Bowl I, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were the devil’s music to moms and dads... But parents are OK with the Rolling Stones and The Beatles because these groups have been around them their entire lives. As our parents grew up…a funny thing happened: What became acceptable changed, and what was considered to be “the devil’s music” shifted. “Generation Gap in Music is all Relative.” March 16, 2007. <http://www.dailybruin.ucla.edu/archives/id/35183/>.
