I remember seeing an old clip of the most hated man in America, John D Rockefeller tipping a caddy 10 cents. Wasn’t he a great man!

Also saw a clip of a jobless man praising Al Capone for his soup kitchen! Wasn’t he great man!

That could never happen today. We are too civilized to let anyone but a professional talk to him. It was a better world.

According to the report: The man Ali talked out of jumping was then brought to the psychiatric ward of a veterans hospital. Ali said he would visit him there.

This happened 35 years ago. Does anyone know what became of the man he saved?
