...next two, set for late March publication, are diaries of professional Golfer Frank Beard and Detroit Tiger Bill Freehan, who were chosen, as Schaap puts it, "as much for their ability to articulate as for their ability to play the sport." One would-be football diarist from the Pittsburgh Steelers who wrote to ask for the Kramer treatment was rejected out of hand because he misspelled Pittsburgh. Diaries of Hockey Player Derek Sanderson, Basketballer Dave DeBusschere, Concert Violinist Erick Friedman, a Long Island rabbi, a Marine captain in Viet Nam, an airline pilot and a single career girl are coming...
Wearing a yellow and green dashiki, the Rev. Junius Carter, rector of Pittsburgh's Holy Cross Church, trembled with emotion as he looked out from the speaker's lectern at the delegates assembled in Notre Dame University's domed athletic center. "Too long, bishops, you have sat on the sidelines and have not acted as our pastors!" he shouted. "I urge you to intervene at this convention and exercise the authority that has been given you by our Lord...
...Cover: Cartoon by Willard Mullin. Although he has been amusing fans with his drawings of sport figures for more than 30 years, this is Mullin's first cover for TIME. To his nationally known roster of such characters as a mournful Dodger Bum, a cutlass-swinging Pittsburgh Pirate and a stein-hoisting Milwaukee Brave, Mullin, 66, has added a New York Met-looking a bit like a Little Leaguer but hustling along like a champion.

A recent study by the mayor's Commission on Human Relations found that blacks made up 49% of the city laborers' union, but that Negro membership in most of the 25 other Pittsburgh building unions was under 2%. The unions representing electricians, ironworkers, asbestos workers and elevator-construction men are 100% white...
Hope in Age. Whether the blacks' pressure tactics will bring quick change remains to be seen. In Pittsburgh, work has been halted on eight major projects, including the U.S. Steel building, pending the outcome of negotiations between the demonstrators and the unions. Chicago unions broke off what had seemed to be promising talks with the militants late last week after a group of blacks invaded the state A.F.L.-C.I.O. convention and pushed the 82-year-old state federation president, Reuben Soderstrom, away from a microphone. For the long run, the Negroes' best hope may lie in the advancing...
