...obtained copies of FBI files which show that the FBI included King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in its harassment of "black nationalist hate groups." Additional files show that the FBI tries to provoke a "fight" between the Communist Party and "La Cosa Nostra" through a campaign of bogus letters and misinformation between the two groups...
LINEBACKER--Eli captain Bill Crowley gets defensive player of the year honors, and Columbia gets its only first-teamer in there with Mike McGraw. Jim Molnar had over 100 tackles for Penn, but Penn keeps bogus tackling stats--Molnar will have to join Brown's John Woodring, Dartmouth's Joe Nastri, Princeton's Andy Hvidston and Cornell's Jim DeStefano on the second squad...
...waste trying to save Savages. Trevor Barnes's West dominates all the other actors with his fine mellifluous voice throughout his interesting performance.

And Don Pullam comes up with a truly excellent performance in his one scene as an irredeemably culture-bound idiot-missionary bringing civilization to the heathen. The tribe of otherwise Stone-Age Indians singing "Yes, Jesus Loves Me"--in harmony--must be seen to be believed...

Tournament directors, such as Jack Kramer, doubled as circuit organizers. The Federal Communications Commission and a House committee have looked into CBS's bogus $250,000 "winner-take-all" match between Connors and Ilie Nastase (in which Connors actually was guaranteed $500,000 and Nastase received $150,000). Far more serious are charges of players' defaulting and "tanking," or purposely losing matches. Occasionally, players who lose early in singles expend less than full effort...
