All says his decision to re-

Ali said that his ability to
draw attention to any part of
the world made the Muslim
leaders want him to come to
their countries and boost their
international reputations.
Ali's announcement was
greeted with skepticism by
some of his camp followers.
"He ain't gonna turn down $8

A phone call.-A simple,
ten-cent phone call for a cab
could save your friend's life.
If your friend has been
drinking too much, he shouldn't
be driving.
The automobile crash is
the number one cause of death
of people your age. And the
ironic thing is that the drunk
drivers responsible for killing
young people are most often
other young people.
Take a minute. Spend a
dime. Call a cab. That's all. If
you can't do that, drive him
yourself. Or let him sleep on
your couch.
We're not asking you to
be a doctor or a cop. Just a friend.
