Nixon's choices did not agree with Johnny Cash's pro-underdog sympathies. When he expressed his reluctance, a White House aide told him that he could sing anything he wished. That freedom of song persists, even at command performances, is reassuring. That the President should request a number that ridicules society's least favored souls seems oddly...
Charles H. Kuhl, a floor sweeper in South Bend, Ind., was a 27-year-old soldier in 1943 when the late General George S. Patton accused him of malingering and slapped him across the face with a pair of gloves-an outburst that may have cost Patton his command of the Seventh Army. Now that the film Patton, starring George C. Scott (TIME, Feb. 9), re-creates Kuhl's agony, the victim recalls: "As I started out of the [hospital] tent, he booted me in the fanny. They hid me in the litter bearers' tent until he left...
Assured Masculinity. Physically, Gunn is a lean six-footer who bends slightly forward from the waist as if he were bracing himself against a brisk wind. His long tapered fingers shape the air with the aristocratic command of a symphony conductor, and his voice has a resonant precision that quells any incipient coughers in the audience.

...black denominations, they command a mighty membership: 10.2 million in the four black Baptist conventions, 2,600,000 in the three major black Methodist churches, probably more than 1,500,000 in smaller groups and store-front churches. The three black Methodist denominations are considering joining the giant Consultation on Church Union (TIME, March 2). Though blacks will make up less than one-sixth of the potential membership of the superchurch, black delegates at COCU's annual meeting last month won a guarantee that each presiding bishop of the new church must have a "different racial background" from...
Even then, if a black graduates to the pros, he will often find it hard to command the same salary-much less the same number of lucrative endorsements and public appearances-as a white player of equal ability. Fullback-turned-Actor Jim Brown has formed the United Athletic Association to help such stars as the Cleveland Browns' Leroy Kelly get their just due. Three seasons ago, though he had succeeded Brown as the N.F.L.'s leading ground gainer, Kelly was earning only $21,000 a year. The following season the U.A.A. negotiated a new contract for Kelly that...
