Back in the day before, to quote Irvin Feld "it has become impossible to make the devil into a hero."

Any other American circus performers make the cover of Time?

John Ringling also made it.

Anonymous,
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED offered me their cover, but I insisted instead that they give it to Jim Kelly, who at the time had just signed with the New Jersey Generals during their merger with the Houston Gamblers. I figured Kelly and Donald Trump needed the paper more then I did. Same deal with PEOPLE MAGAZINE. I said, "go ahead and give it to Jack (Nicholson.) He's hurting in the box office right now.
