Chapter 11: Political Baseball
The year 1969 was a tumultuous one politically.
President Nixon was a lighting rod for the the multitudes opposed to the
folly that was the Vietnam War. As if he didn't have enough trouble
running the government, Nixon would sometimes stick his pointy nose into
such a weighty sports issue as who should be ranked as the No. 1 football
team. I attended to that in one column and got considerable mileaage out
of a White House gathering hosted by Nixon. Two college football columns
here reflect some of the political torment on campuses.
