Reviewing the facts and the films, U.S.C.'s President Dr. Norman Topping made a public apology to the University of California for "this most regrettable incident," and promised that it would not happen again. Last Saturday, as U.S.C. coasted to an easy win over West Virginia, Mike McKeever was at his usual position and at the bottom of a major share of U.S.C. tackles. But he kept his elbows close to his sides...
Just before testifying last week, Charles made a last-ditch attempt to wangle favored treatment from newsmen. To the nation's top TV critics and commentators-NBC's Chet Huntley, the New York Times's Jack Gould, the New York Herald Tribune's John Crosby, et al.-he mailed copies of his prepared statement along with personal notes looking for sympathy. Wrote he to Critic Crosby: "I wanted you to have a copy of this complete from my own hand. It's not a pleasant story, but I tried to make it a true...
...tasteless exercise in guile and unction. The basic problem seems to be his iron egotism.

I was incredibly naive. I couldn't understand why Stempel should want to proclaim his own involvement...
Belated Recognition. Kintner began by giving NBC's official chronology of the Twenty One affair. When Herbert Stempel made his first charges that the show was crooked in September 1957, NBC officials did not report the matter to Kintner or Board Chairman Robert W. Sarnoff, but took Producer Dan Enright's assurance that Stempel was lying. A year later, when the Stempel charges finally broke in the press, NBC still took the word of Producer Enright and his partner, Jack Barry, relying largely on their "excellent reputation"; Kintner was not asked and did not tell the committee that...
