Jim is none too happy at having his millionaire foster-brother held up as an example by Rocky. However, the tables are turned and they are only too glad of his talents when the Mafia muscle in on Aaron's highly remunerative racket.
Thai boxers move like ballet dancers as they deliver pile-driver blows-with their feet. Chavalit was just one of the thousands of aspiring boys seeking fortune and honour for family and village by practising Thailand's number one sport. Thai boxing dates back to when the Siamese wars were fought with sword and stave. In Bangkok can be found a grace and elegance which Western civilisation has either lost or never had; but only just below the surface there's also a great capacity for violence which spills over into its entertainment.

The arts in America
Introduced by Humphrey Burton
Ralph Fasanella
'I try to paint what really is. It's not my hobby, looking into windows and seeing what you're doing at night. I know what you're doing because I've lived this life.'
The son of Italian immigrants, Fasanella grew up amongst the gangsters of Lower Manhattan. From reform school he went to a series of jobs in light industry and became passionately involved in the Labour movement. At 30 he began painting. Now in his 60s he's a celebrity, recording in fantastic detail the landscape he knows -the working man's New York, Little Italy, the parades, the factories, the mythologies of baseball and Watergate.
Robert Motherwell
' Man is his own invention; every artist's problem is to invent himself. He does not reflect the world but invents it.'
In total contrast Motherwell is an abstract artist and one of the founding fathers of the hugely influential New York school of painters.
