After a brief challenge by Keith Colburn in the second mile, Royce Shaw and captain Doug Hardin were left alone in a head-to-head duel at the front.

Recently, however, a test commercial featuring a Negro mother talking about Pampers, a disposable diaper, showed that 60% of the viewers in the South did not recall the actress's race. Still, some Southern-based sponsors-among them several tobacco companies-argue that "we're salesmen, not sociologists." They have yet to integrate their commercials, while others make a separate set of white-only ads for distribution in the South. For the most part, integrated ads pitch mass-consumer items...
