...remember travelling in the South not long after the four little girls in burnt lace were removed from the rubble in Birmingham. One Saturday night, in Charlotte, N.C., I went with my father to visit a dynamic preacher-dentist, Rev. Dr. Reginald Hawkins, who was leading the school integration fight in Charlotte-Machlenburg that would eventually result in the Supreme Court's important Swann decision. I remember sitting that night in the Hawkins' well-furnished living-room, watching Johnny Carson on their color T.V., while my father and Rev.

I promised not to mention the Watergate, and he gave me two minutes." Corey's colleague, Simmons Fentress, found the McGovern people more willing to talk about the delicate...
...provided from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. On Thursday, July 27, I walked into the clinic at 3:30 p.m. with a severe toothache. The doctor was still there but would not even look at my tooth. The next afternoon I arrived at 1:00 p.m., the dentist at 1:15. The next ten minutes he spent talking to a visitor. Finally Dr. Faciano walked into the treatment room and abruptly asked what my problem was. Without familiarizing himself with my case history which was on his desk (I had the same tooth worked on last year...
