Ali has long been involved with projects relating to literacy and children, but my own favorite, bar none, has to be the unsung classic ALI AND HIS GANG VS. TOOTH DECAY. Ali and his pals (including Frank Sinatra, Richie Havens and Howard Cosell) tell kids that it's important to brush your teeth and lay off sugary sweets to fend off the Tooth Decay Monster.)
