- Training for his 1976 title fight, Rocky, a.k.a. SYLVESTER
- STALLONE, sprinted up the steps of Philadelphia's art museum,
- arms triumphantly aloft. For 1982's Rocky III, a statue
- commemorating that was set up on the site during filming, then
- moved to the Spectrum sports arena. When Rocky V was being shot
- recently, the bronze pugilist went back in front of the museum.
- The mayor and die-hard fans want it to stay there as a tourist
- attraction, but the museum refused. Last week workmen knocked
- the Rock off his pedestal and returned him to the Spectrum. Is
- this the City of Brotherly Love or what?
