FBI kept tabs on Muhammad Ali in 1966 during Nation of Islam probe

(Reuters) - The FBI kept a close watch on the activities of Muhammad Ali in 1966, with a particular focus on his links to the Nation of Islam, a black movement that the agency viewed as subversive, according to archival documents posted on the FBI website.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation released the documents in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by the conservative group Judicial Watch.
Ali, one of the world's most famous celebrities and a revered role model for African-Americans, died in June at age 74. His death triggered an outpouring of affection for the former heavyweight champion, known as much for his social activism and humanitarianism as for his legendary boxing career.
The FBI's disclosures reveal another example of the agency's surveillance activities during the 1960s and 1970s under the direction of J. Edgar Hoover. Among the public figures the FBI monitored in those turbulent years were civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr and singer-songwriter John Lennon.
The latest batch of about 140 pages of FBI documents includes previously classified material on Ali from 1966.
In the FBI's view, Ali may have posed a threat because he was a potential source of money and charismatic leadership for the civil rights movement, which Hoover as FBI director opposed, said Michael Ezra, a professor at Sonoma State University and author of a book on Ali.
"Ali was an important symbol to the civil rights movement, a galvanizing force, and him running around free was a problem for the FBI," Ezra said in a telephone interview on Friday.
Representatives of the FBI could not be reached for comment. James Comey, FBI director since 2013, has said he regrets the bureau's abuses under Hoover.

Bush Chooses Prosecutor to Reshape FBI
Law: U.S. Atty. Mueller is picked to lead an agency that is struggling with its credibility. A bruising nomination fight is probably avoided.
July 06, 2001 JAMES GERSTENZANG and ERIC LICHTBLAU TIMES STAFF WRITERS
WASHINGTON — President Bush on Thursday chose Robert Mueller, an experienced government prosecutor who is now the U.S. attorney in San Francisco, to direct the FBI and wrestle with the spate of problems that has plagued the bureau.
In nominating Mueller, 56, for the 10-year term to succeed Louis J. Freeh, Bush took a course likely to avoid an angry, politically tinged confirmation battle in the Senate. Still, the hearing on Mueller's nomination is virtually certain to turn into an in-depth look at the agency's recent blunders.
As Mueller stood beside him in the White House Rose Garden on Thursday, Bush referred obliquely to the travails the bureau has encountered.

Prosecutor nominated to head FBI / `No-nonsense' ex-Marine
MICHAEL HEDGES, Houston Chronicle WashingtonBureau Staff
FRI 07/06/2001 Houston Chronicle
WASHINGTON - Robert S. Mueller III, a career prosecutor and former Marine with a reputation for making tough decisions, was called upon by President Bush on Thursday to resurrect an FBI beset by high-profile blunders.
After a lengthy search, Mueller was picked to head the FBI at a critical point in the history of the nation's largest law enforcement agency. Those who know him said he has the right qualities for the job.
"He is a tough, no-nonsense former Marine who does not brook incompetence," said former Washington U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova.
"One thing I would emphasize about Bob Mueller: He is a guy who will know how to fire people when that is necessary."
In a brief White House ceremony, Bush said, "The FBI must be ready to protect Americans from new types of criminals who will use modern technology to defraud and disrupt our lives . . . And it must do all this with a firm commitment to safeguarding the constitutional rights of our citizens."
The president said, "Bob Mueller's experience and character convinced me that he's ready to shoulder these responsibilities."

Damn, my left shoulder has really started hurting the past hour or longer. It is something that is close to my shoulder, actually, but under the clavicle and the pain in on my back to, about where the shoulder blade would be. The pain is almost bad enough that I cannot really move my left arm, although it is not that bad. The feeling may be closer to a muscle spasm in the area of my left shoulder blade.

My left shoulder is still just as painful as it was when I noted it

THE WHO
"Won't Get Fooled Again"
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
