1963

Let's start with a football story. The source is John Merrow, who wrote me in mid-June from Washington to say he had met Bob Blackman on the street a short time before. "He was in town to testify against Title IX, the anti-sex discrimination regulations which many coaches feel threaten the fabric of American life, and so forth. He looks well and still wears the familiar terrycloth 'T' shirts, but they ain't GREEN any longer." John, who produces a documentary radio series for National Public Radio, met Blackman during the final 100 yards of John's daily six-mile run.
