TS has a note on Clay.
When I was in the Army and a bar fight started, we linguists would say, Ah, if Cassius Clay were only here! The father of one of us was part of the Louisville business syndicate that owned Clay as he turned pro! How hilarious, to own a boxer - and with such a ridiculous name. We had great fun with the notion.
