Kahn has written on murders and politics as well as athletic events in a career that includes reporting on the death of a Brooklyn bookie and a volume on student unrest at Columbia in 1968. "You're better able to write about sports when you've covered the rest of the world," he says. "But I prefer athletes to politicians. They're more direct and less devious."

Throughout the South, news of Northern and Border-state unrest over busing has been greeted with understanding and something more than a little regional hubris. For 22 years, since the Supreme Court's pathfinding decision against "separate but equal" education, the South has borne the brunt of federal court orders, HEW guidelines and financial sanctions, and national "holier-than-thou" attention.
