Last Resort. The nine surviving student victims of the Kent State shooting and the parents of the four youths who were killed on May 4, 1970, had filed a $46 million civil suit against Ohio Governor James Rhodes, former Kent State University President Robert White, Ohio National Guard Commanders Robert Canterbury and Sylvester Del Corso and a number of Guardsmen involved in the firing. They did so as a last resort. An Ohio state grand jury that looked into the case had indicted only students for their part in the rioting that preceded the shooting. Former Attorney General John Mitchell...
Goons threw acid on the owner of a truck stop outside Detroit for displaying the magazine. A stopover in eastern Ohio was blown up for featuring it on a newsrack. Gunmen shot out the gas signs of a stop in Indiana and threatened worse if the display rack did not go. When it comes to circulation, Overdrive magazine has had some unique problems.

More Faith disappeared when the Mississippi State Police blasted student demonstrators at Jackson State and then told an ambulance driver to "come pick up a couple of dead niggers." But these are small events. They alone couldn't be responsible for all the missing Faith...
...Trojans, feel, so they were delighted last week to see KNTV reinstate their spots. For them, KNTV is a beacon of sorts. They hope local stations' acceptance will soften up the networks. Now it seems, resistance has begun to crack. This week station KJAN-TV in Canton, Ohio, will start running the ads. As for KNTV, it views its pioneering role with mixed feelings. Says Yearwood: "It's a hell of a claim to fame accepting the first rubber commercial...
