1. Hollis, for God's sake, your whistle doesn't just set you apart from the other parents on the soccer field or in the auditorium. It sets you apart from the rest of the species. It's like a train whistle or high-pitched fog horn from a giant seagoing vessel. It's just not normal! Keep it up!

3. @Chris Chris, I asked Sam Massell about it several times and he insisted Maddox was seeking political vengeance for a friend. In the context of the times, Massell was a young, Jewish liberal from a prominent family while Maddox grew up poor and was an arch-conservative bigot. Maddox had been involved in politics since the1950s, when he ran unsuccessfully against Mayor Hartsfield, and wrote his weekly newspaper column "Pickrick Says." The enmity went back a decade. Massell and Maddox had other clashes later. Good question. I wish I had a more definitive answer. ...Doug
