...nobody recalls, Evans was on base when Henry Aaron hit No. 715 in Atlanta. But if he was merely on hand for dramatic events before, he is onstage for them now. With one Royal on and two outs in the taut eighth inning of matching three-hitters, Evans dived for a ball at first base and then beat Willie Wilson in a race to secure Milt Wilcox's 1-0 victory, which won the pennant...

...years ago, a few state legislatures enforced laws banning from campuses speakers who pleaded the Fifth Amendment or refused to sign non-Communist affidavits, or threatened to "do violence to the academic atmosphere." Mississippi officials used such a statute in the late 1960's to keep Charles Evers and Aaron Henry, president of the NAACP, from giving speeches at state universities.
