...illusions were soon shattered. On a trip to Harlem to do an article for the New York Times magazine, he was given a copy of the Civil Rights photo-essay collection, The Movement.

Where do you start describing a team like this one? A good place would be last June's NCAA championships at Eugene, Ore. There Captain Art Croasdale got off a 189 ft., 2 in. hammer throw for a third place. Tony Lynch ran a 51.4 in the 400-meter intermediate hurdles. Chris Pardee cleared 6 ft., 10 in. in the high jump, and, like Lynch, took a fourth.

When Princeton edged Harvard here last year, Fitzgibbon was the only player on either team to win in both singles and doubles. This year, led by juniors Keith Jennings and Ham Magill, the Tigers are once again an awesome crew, but without Fitzgibbon, who knows...
Armed with all this information, Attorney General Lynch last week announced that all local law enforcement agencies have now been supplied with dossiers on each member of Hell's Angels and on similar gangs, and set up a coordinated intelligence service that will try to track down the hoods wherever they appear. "They will no longer be allowed to threaten the lives, peace and security of honest citizens of our state," said he. To that, thousands of Californians shuddered a grateful amen...
