Died. Albert Lingo, 59, chunky, bespectacled Alabama state trooper who, as former Governor George Wallace's state public-safety director from 1963 to 1965, led troopers armed with tear gas and electric cattle prods in bloody attacks on civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham and Selma; of a ruptured aorta; in Birmingham. "I am not a Nigra-hater," Lingo once said. "I've played with 'em, I've eaten with 'em and I've worked with 'em, but I still believe in segregation. You can say that some of my best friends are Nigras...

He told us that the language is "Boontling," which is a corruption of Boonville Lingo. In English sprinkled with Boontling, Levi described what Boonville was like in those days: a rough frontier town first settled in the 1850s by subsistence farmers and sheep and cattle ranchers, most of them of Scotch-Irish descent...
...After four years of playing man-for-man defense-a rarity among college teams-Marsalis figures to make the transition into the pros with ease. He has "sprinter's speed plus the mean streak you need to play corner." Maxwell, in the terse, tight lingo of the scouting reports, is: "Fast, with good hands. Covers a lot of ground. Likes to play it tight. Tough." If he were not a junior, another top contender is Jake Scott, Georgia, 6 ft. 1 in., 190 Ibs. He is a blue-streak threat on punt returns. When he becomes available, some scouts...
