It's the evening of March 8, 1971. Keith Forsyth emerges from his park car carrying a large briefcase.

A cold wind sends a pile of leaves fluttering in the air and Forsyth gazes around the streets of media, Pennsylvania.

Tonight the town seems practically empty and Forsyth grins. Empty streets are a good thing, especially with the massive risk he's about to take.

Forsyth glances at his own reflection in the window. His long blonde hair is now cropped and his beard's been shaved clean.

He's wearing simple black-framed glasses. He looks like a square, not an activist, and he can't help but laugh.

This disguise is better than he possibly could have imagined. Forsyth then heads back down the block and stops at the corner.

There he scans the four-story building across the street, which looms ominously in the dark night.

For months he's memorized every detail of this building. It houses an FBI field office, and right now Forsyth is going to break in.

Forsyth begins crossing the street when he hears footsteps approaching.

He turns to see a man walking toward him carrying two six packs of Budweiser.

Hey buddy, you've got to work just in time, huh? Yeah, in time for what? In time for what? You kidding me? The fight, man, the fight! Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier!

All of the fights, yes, of course. Going straight home wouldn't miss it.

For a second the man stares at Forsyth with a look of suspicion.

Then he smiles and throws a couple of punches into the air. The Budweiser is rattle in his hands.

Boy, this is going to be a good one. Frazier is going to clean Ali's clock.

Forsyth pauses. He knows he should let this go, but he can't.

I'm rooting for Ali.

What are you kidding me? How could you be against Joe? He's from Philly. He's a real American. Not Ali.

Man dodges the draft. Won't fight and be a numb. I don't care how good he is. That's no hero. He's not a patriot.

I don't know about that. If Ali thinks this country is not fair and the war is unjust, well,

then if he breaks the law to make things better, that's the most patriotic thing he can do.
