‘They Stood for Everything Good and True and Right in the American Spirit . . .’

They came together on a hot afternoon in Los Angeles, howling and clawing at each other like wild beasts in heat. Under a brown California sky, the fierceness of their struggle brought tears to the eyes of 90,000 God-fearing fans. They were 22 men who were somehow more than men. They were giants, idols, titans.
