Politics & Eagles. The trouble began when Father Groppi, 35, led the N.A.A.C.P. Youth Council in picketing Judge Cannon's house in Wauwatosa to protest his membership in the Fraternal Order of Eagles, a men's organization that, like such similar groups as the Elks, Moose and Odd Fellows, specifically excludes non-Caucasians (one prominent Eagle: David Lawrence, chairman of the President's Advisory Committee on Equal Opportunity in Housing). The council picked Cannon because he has a generally liberal record, figured that he would therefore be the most likely to give in and leave the white-only...

Put on tape and aired in varying spots throughout...
Family Line started out as a ratings gimmick, but the series is nevertheless as true to life as the FCC's rules will allow. The wilder obscenities are excised, but not the wilder shouts of protest. "Best way I can sum it up is this," says one bitter Negro youth, in a psychodrama about his failure to get a job: "If you're Protestant and white, you're happy and free; if you're black, you stay back just like me. I get so sick and tired of this damned line about equal opportunity...
