...aspirant, but one of the Pulitzer Prize's preliminary pickers. He was a member of a nominating jury to weed out contenders for the $500 prize for international telegraphic reporting.

This was too much even for the arch-conservative Los Angeles Times. While Wallace backers, delighted at the publicity, signed up the 18,000-seat Gilmore Stadium, the Times editorialized: "We should not gag a bray...
