But they're not.
They're just trying to put some money in their pocket and I don't like that idea.
Life outside the ring has been one disaster after another for Alexis Arguello.
Boxing took a kid with a fourth grade education out of the barrios and toward the stars.
Now it's giving him another chance at life if his aging body doesn't betray him.
We like to be in a dangerous situation no matter how much we lose which we have to break
things that we want to break and we want to do things that no other man have accomplished.
You like to walk on the edge?
I love it.
That's why I have a boxer baby.
Every day of our life is dangerous.
Everybody says I'm taking the risk to die but I'm taking the risk to break through history.
The oddsmakers have made Arguello an 8 to 5 favorite and tomorrow's fight against life
is at least even money.
I'd like to talk to you about your breakfast and your health and new fiber one.
By now you've heard how important fiber is in your diet.
That's where high fiber fiber one comes in because a high fiber low fat diet may reduce
the risk of some kinds of cancer.
High fiber fiber one, the one for fiber.
It's healthy, it's smart, it's the one for me.
Now make fiber one the one for you.
Try a box free.
For a short time only look for this healthy offer on specially marked boxes.
Phillips lax caps or chocolate at x lax.
Both have the same effect of laxative but lax caps has a gentle softener.
Lax caps or x lax.
For easy relief it's your choice.
Phillips lax caps.
Easy does it.
She asked a thousand doctors if stranded on an island which would they want.
Tylenol, extra strength Tylenol, Advil or Bayer.
More doctors chose Bayer.
Nearly two to one over extra strength Tylenol.
Bayer, the wonder drug that works wonders.
Sunday on This Week David Brinkley talks live with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos
about this week's election and his country's future.
Sunday.
Early this evening California is often the nation's trendsetter.
The fashions, the music, the fads frequently originate in the Golden State and now San
Francisco has taken the common everyday city tour and turned it into something you'll never
see in a tourist guide.
Here's Ken Kashiwahara.
It is home of some of the most popular tourist attractions in the world.
The Golden Gate Bridge.
Fisherman's Wharf.
The cable cars.
But what if you've seen and savored and are even sick of all that.
Well now there are tours that take you to places you'd never think of going or even
want to.
They are close encounters of a different kind.
The tours are called near escapes.
Take a spin around the Bondurant Racing School at 80 miles an hour.
We'll get slowed down, turning in here, trailing, trailing, trailing.
I love the skid pull.
If I lift, it comes right on around.
It comes around, do a 180.
These animals, although they have been trained for some things and they may appear to be
cuddly, they are wild animals.
Visit a private wild and exotic animal farm and do something you can't do at the zoo.
Get up close and personal.
That's not a threatening gesture.
Their tongue is an organ of sense.
Or take a near escapes tour and see what happens to some animals who don't escape, who wind
up in the hands of a taxidermist.
And if all that is too exciting, near escapes will take you on a tour of the Caldeca Tunnel
or a McDonald's kitchen or a cemetery.
The offbeat tour is the brainchild of tour operator Kay Grant.
I'm curious and I want to see everything and know how things are done and try different
things and I figure if I'm interested in doing something, someone else is going to be interested
in doing it too.
The tours are aimed at San Francisco area residents who pay $5 to $35 per tour out of
a sense of curiosity and adventure.
I just like learning about all kinds of odd things and near escapes is a perfect way to
do that.
One regular participant describes the tours as high school field trips for grownups, learning
for example what a taxidermist does and what he refuses to do.
We did have one guy that called us who was having his thumb amputated and he wanted us
to preserve it so he could go cap it and wear it around his neck.
And if some of the near escapes tours provoke fleeting thoughts of mortality.
There is always a glimpse of the ultimate escape, a tour into the world of immortality.
