  Fifty years ago Friday, a group of young men reported to a military induction center in Houston to answer their nation's call to service in Vietnam. When their names were read, all but one stepped forward - Muhammad Ali. We know what happened to Ali after that. But to find out what happened to the others, USA TODAY located and spoke with two groups of draftees: some who were at the Houston induction, and some from Ali's hometown of Louisville who registered for the draft when he did and whose Selective Service numbers were in the same sequence.
