Fight of the Century: Muhammad Ali's Legacy Grows in Defeat
By Thomas George - AOL NewsJust outside of Madison Square Garden's 7th Avenue doors are soaring, decorated, celebratory columns of Garden historical splendor. A center one is plastered with a photograph and these words of a transcending boxing event that soon reaches 40 years old: ``THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY _ MARCH 8, 1971.'' Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier. It was the first of their trilogy of blazing boxing dances, a Garden bash with the nation plus corners of the world all bopping too, transfixed. Ali vs. Frazier. The Greatest vs. Smokin' Joe. Louisville's lip vs. Philadelphia's pride. Peace vs. war. The ...
Barbra Streisand's Cousin Blocked From Moving to Israel
By Linda Gradstein - AOL NewsJERUSALEM -- Israel has decided against allowing the cousin of Barbra Streisand to immigrate to the country even though as a Jew he is automatically entitled to citizenship here under the Law of Return.

Chelsea Clinton's A-List Wedding: Few Details, Many Questions
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyTo the roaring, screeching Amtrak trains approaching Rhinecliff station from the north or south, add the occasional thwack-thwack-thwack of helicopter rotors. Do those choppers carry Secret Service agents trying to secure the entrance to Astor Courts, the Versailles-inspired private mansion above the Hudson River, where former first daughter Chelsea Clinton is set to marry investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, her great pal since their teenage days in Washington who became so very much more in recent years?
