Shirley Povich Was The Dean Of American Sportswriters. As A Columnist For The Washington Post For More Than Seventy-five Years, Povich Was An Eyewitness To The Most Thrilling And Tragic Moments In Sports, Including: The Legendary 1927 Dempsey-tunney Long Count Fight; The Celebrated 1983 Seabiscuit-war Admiral Race; The 1946 Signing Of Jackie Robinson By The Brooklyn Dodgers; Don Larsen's Perfect Game In The 1956 World Series; The Ali-frazier Rumble In The Jungle Fight In 1971; And The Murder Of Eleven Israeli Athletes At The 1972 Munich Olympics..
