"We flew to Miami for the Beatles second appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Watching television, I saw Clay shouting that he would win the heavyweight title from the champ, Sonny Liston. I thought this would make a good picture, but John wanted to meet the champion instead. Liston didn't even look-up at me and said: 'I don't want to meet those bums.' Thinking they were going to meet Liston, I took them to meet Clay at the Fifth Street Gym. Clay completely overwhelmed them shouting, 'I'm the greatest. You're pretty, but I'm prettier.' They had never taken a back seat before. John told me I had made a fool of them and he wouldn't speak to me for a month." -The Beatles and Cassius Clay, Miami, 1964, Being There, By Harry Benson.
