Daley's defense was, perhaps understandably, a self-justifying recitation of the debacle as seen from police headquarters. It portrayed the protesters principally as "terrorists" and "revolutionaries," made no attempt to distinguish between radical leaders, yippies, McCarthy partisans and other disaffected youths. "The dual goals of immediate disruption and ultimate destruction were pursued in Chicago against the Government under the guise of a protest against the war in Viet Nam," said the report. The press and TV, it went on, "responded with surprising naiveté and were incredibly misused...
...longtime army commander in Tibet was replaced, and battles among the Chinese occupiers were reported to be raging sporadically in Lhasa. Essential services, including transportation, communications and food shipments, have broken down. Taking advantage of the turmoil, Tibetans are issuing anti-Chinese leaflets.

Days later, he identified the man from photos as James Earl Ray, who was eventually seized in England and charged with King's murder...
...says Denny. For one thing, he has learned to put a muzzle on his mouth or at least to temper his cracks. He still insists that "Tiger Stadium is the worst in the league," but now, instead of simply railing that "Detroit fans are the worst I've ever seen," he is careful to limit his complaint to "some" Detroit fans. Even so, he has been belligerent enough to inspire one of those fans to wire a smoke bomb to the engine of Sharyn's car. The bomb was a dud, but it blew the lid off Denny's volcanic...
