...Alabama had changed, its racial feelings inflamed by violence at Montgomery, Anniston and Birmingham. Big Jim had changed, too. His hair was greyer, his face was pouchier, his lines had lost their punch. When the votes were counted last week in Alabama's Democratic primary. Big Jim was third in a field of seven. Selected to face each other in the May 29 runoff: former Circuit Judge George Wallace, 42, who promises that he will go to jail before permitting integrated schools, and Tuscaloosa State Senator Ryan deGraffenried. 37, a racial moderate.

Now, with less than two minutes to go they were firing long, dangerous passes in a bold try for another touchdown...

He seemed years older, much thinner, and his hair was greyer. He refused a stretcher. He admitted that he was not in good shape, but said he was a hard man, that he would be all right after a glass of wine and a few days of rest...
