Get ready for TWELVE (12) ROUNDS in the life of the Greatest of All Times.

SAVED BY THE BELL is a book about one man's attempt to follow godly principles in his relationship to his fellow man, and how in the spirit of brotherly love, Muhammad Ali shared his abundance, personal wealth and love in service to others. Muhammad Ali is often quoted as saying, Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.

SAVED BY THE BELL looks at how the Champ has served others and touched the hearts and souls of the masses. It has been written: Many are called, but few are chosen. We all have a purpose in life. Muhammad Ali is one of the chosen few-called out for a Divine purpose, not yet fulfilled.

Chock full of some of the greatest pictures ever taken of the Greatest,

SAVED BY THE BELL is also full of humor, suspense and foreign intrigue. It offers an inside look into Ali the spiritual man on a mission...the Peoples' Champ. The mission bell is ringing. Will the Ali of old answer the bell for the final round? Only time will tell as the last chapter, or round, in the life story of Muhammad Ali is yet to be written. This book recounts Ali's mission to Vietnam in search of American servicemen missing from the Vietnam War and predicts an amazing revelation that some American POWs and MIAs are still alive, waiting to be found and brought home.

SAVED BY THE BELL is a story within a story of perhaps the world's greatest humanitarian on a mission in life, interrupted by a speech impediment caused by a mysterious and sudden loss of motor skills some have attributed to Parkinson's syndrome. Has Muhammad Ali lost his speech irretrievably? Has his health been irreparably harmed? Or will a miracle restore Ali's speaking ability enabling the once loquacious Louisville Lip, the Mouth That Roared, to speak out again in a powerful way to bring a message to the masses about being saved by the bell?

SAVED BY THE BELL is a story in the life of the Champ of his travels, trials and tribulations and tells how one day he will overcome the physical and spiritual challenges he faces and be saved by the bell.

An Important Word from Mrs. Carol Hrdlicka

Wife of POW Col. David Hrdlicka - USAF

Captured in Laos May 18, 1965 and Last Known Alive

I have known Arnold Beizer, the author of 'Saved By The Bell' since the early 1990’s when he promoted a celebrity charity benefit concert for POW/MIA family members. The event held at the Philadelphia Academy of Music was attended by Muhammad Ali and sponsored through Arnie's non-profit organization, Let Freedom Ring, Inc. which donated proceeds to POW/MIA family organizations. A mutual friend introduced me to Arnie and since that time we have been friends and have worked together to shed light on the abandonment of the POWs. In 1994 Arnie arranged a trip for Muhammad Ali to accompany me and another POW family member to Vietnam to seek answers about my husband David, who is one of a group of 321 American servicemen Last Known Alive in captivity.

It was on May 18th, 1965 that David’s F-105 jet plane was shot down over Laos. David was seen to bail out and land safely. He was photographed in captivity by the Pathet Lao and was extensively documented as a Prisoner of War over a long period of time. The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) includes him on their 'Last Known Alive' list and he is termed a discrepancy case because he has yet to be accounted for even though the USG consistently puts out the misinformation that he died in captivity.

It was thought that David would be returned in 1973 during Operation Homecoming when the North Vietnamese released 591 of his fellow POWs. There is documentation of Henry Kissinger speaking later that summer about David's imprisonment, so the question remains as to why he wasn't brought home? His whereabouts were being tracked for years, well into his second decade of imprisonment, but somehow the politics of repatriation kept getting in the way. There have been live sighting reports of David through the 1990’s, satellite reconnaissance photos of POW authenticator codes from POW messages stamped in the fields of S.E. Asia as well as other first hand accounts of live POWs seen to this day.

I have been admonished by government officials from the start for pursuing information of my husband’s captivity. I was requested by our government to keep quiet for his sake and safety, followed by strings of half-truths and even outright lies over the years. I believe the DIA hoped I would give up and go away. I was passed down the line of bureaucracy; my requests for documents and concerns about my husband’s whereabouts were ignored. While I am well beyond the argument of whether the U.S. should have been involved in the conflict of S.E. Asia, the lessons learned should not allow those in power to expect the American people to blindly believe what they want us to believe. To be true to the soldiers and their memory, as well as to ourselves, we must expect proof of what the government tells us and accept nothing less.

Col. David Hrdlicka chose to serve as a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and did so with honor. He and his family still serve. His toddler children have grown to adulthood. They have all wondered, for every day of those 46 years, is he still alive....as they eat, sleep and breathe, they ask themselves, is he hurting, is he hungry, is he wondering where we are and if we've forgotten him? 

My family does not seek sympathy and certainly doesn't want public pity, we want the truth. David’s story is no more special than that of the thousands of other servicemen and women who have given their lives for America's freedom.  They each have their own unique story. The circumstances are all as different as the individuals involved but the outcome is the same. I am indebted to Arnie Beizer and Muhammad Ali for championing the cause of freedom and for helping U.S. get to the truth about American POWs and MIAs who served their country in the Vietnam War and were left in captivity.

Some Still Survive! SAVED BY THE BELL tells their story and how Muhammad Ali has helped to bring light to their plight and to bring them home. Muhammad Ali is truly the Peoples’ Champ for his service to others.

~ Carol Hrdlicka

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Arnold L. Beizer, of Hartford, Connecticut first met Muhammad Ali in 1963 when he was known as Cassius Clay.  A devoted fan, Arnie followed Ali’s career from the early days when he became the Light Heavyweight Olympic Boxing Champion in 1960.  Arnie grew up in Hartford, Connecticut and played sports in high school and at Boston University.  He served in the United States Army Reserves during the Vietnam War era and then returned home to Connecticut, his birthplace, and attended law school.  Shortly thereafter, he established his own private practice and always maintained his enthusiasm for sports – especially boxing.

The author sensed that Cassius Clay would not only become a superstar but would leave an indelible imprint on society writing a chapter in history that would be an object lesson for generations to follow.  Over the years, Arnie got to know Ali and to notice the many special qualities and attributes of character that distinguished the Champ from other athletes and celebrities and that made him stand head and shoulders above the rest.  Muhammad Ali was not just a talented and super athlete, more importantly he was an extraordinary human being, a humanitarian, and a missionary of sorts.  Ali was a man on a mission destined for greatness inside and outside of the boxing ring.

There was a spiritual component to Ali that went far beyond the obvious fame for which most people came to know him.  Arnie kept in contact with Ali while a college student, a young adult and then a businessman.  Periodically, the two of them would meet when Ali was on the road traveling in New York City or appearing in Hartford, Los Angeles, Newark, Providence, Deer Lake, Pennsylvania (the Champ’s training camp) or at the Champ’s home in Berrien Springs, Michigan.

During the time Arnie spent in Ali’s presence, he learned a great deal from the Champ and about Ali the person.  The spiritual side of Ali impressed Arnie the most. It was this aspect of Ali the special man - the real Ali - that the author hopes will come out in the pages of his book.  In this life, we only come around once.  As the adage goes, What goes around comes around.  So, let us examine the twelve rounds of Saved By The Bell and see how Ali comes through.  Many have had the opportunity to follow Ali’s boxing career, and some the good fortune to watch him demonstrate his skills in the ring.  The author hopes that through the pages of this book others will now have a chance to see the spiritual side of Ali in action.  Ali certainly had a way with words, but actions speak louder than words. So let’s get ready to rumble in Round 1.

ARNOLD BEIZER PRESENTS THE CHAMP WITH THE SYMBOL OF FREEDOM

PREFACE

Like the legendary Babe Ruth who challenged the pitcher and an entire Chicago Cubs 1932 World Series team when he pointed to center field predicting that he would hit a home run there on the next pitch and then delivered on his promise, Muhammad Ali told the world he was the greatest and then proved it.  He resurrected the sport of boxing, but more importantly, came into the lives of people who had nothing to cheer about and gave them hope.  He provided not only thrills and chills, but uplifted their spirits.  He demonstrated to us that with skill, dedication and perseverance, we too could accomplish almost anything.  He challenged every one of us to be confident.  Never should we give up in our pursuit to succeed.

Some try to copy his style or to mimic him, but there will never be another Ali.  He is a unique person, one of a kind. But that is not to say that each one of us can’t have a little Muhammad Ali in us.  The lesson of Muhammad Ali is that if we try hard enough, if we have faith and confidence in ourselves and trust in God we too can be winners.  We may not all achieve the fame
