Accused of raping a pregnant white woman, Parker was abducted by 15 to 20 masked men only 48 hours before his trial in Judge Dale's court. At least ten members of the lynch mob were named by the FBI in a report to Governor James P. Coleman, who had called the G-men into the case. But the 378-page dossier, said Pearl River District Attorney Vernon Broom last week, was mostly "hearsay." The grand jury did not even get to see the FBI findings.

And Wisconsin Quarterback Dale Hackbart made his own breaks too, repeatedly riddled the Wildcat defense...
...pilot film. Says Adman Clyne: "Last spring we went over 200 finished pilots and another hundred ideas. We picked 40, put them on the air. Of those 40, we had confidence in only a dozen or so-and right now, I'd almost guarantee that less than ten will be renewed next fall...
