Shields, who is a radio veteran and militant black, got into the debate himself once when he felt that a Negro caller was unfairly attacking Guest Jackie Robinson for Uncle Tomism. Often, Moderator Shields, who hits fungoes to the guest for ten or 15 minutes before turning him over to the phone-in audience, is the toughest interrogator of the night. Roy Innis, director of CORE, should know what is in store for him next month. Shields plans to ask him "Has CORE gone...
...picture window that turns opaque at the flick of a switch, giving those inside instant shade and absolute privacy. A wall clock, no thicker than a pane of safety glass, that flashes the hour without any tick or hum.

R.F.K. promised to send a plane to transport the leader's body back to Atlanta...
...Webfoots could boast a second team All-American of their own at quarterback, and Billy Steers was second only to Centre College's immortal Bo McMillin as America's top signal-caller. To offset Horween's kicking skill, Oregon had Skeet Manerud; and fullback Hollis Huntington, already a veteran of two Rose Bowl games, could more than match Church on brute drive...
