Curt Queedy and Guy Barton, the state senators from West Virginia, were on tonight propping their new bill, one which would allow the states to administer corporal punishment to kids if the parents fail to. Guy was sitting in a restaurant one night watching a little kid ruinning around and had already calculated how hard he'd have to trip the kid to send him flying, head first, into the sweet potato fry bin. A law allowing the state to take over punishment would save Guy the trouble..not to mention the kid.
Professor Emory Clayton discussed the Ted Williams story, a homeless man...a former disc jockey...given a second chance at life by a newspaper that discovered him panhandling money using his voice as a hook. Professor Clayton said that Ted, a black man, was "simply banging symbols together and wearing a bell boy hat for the white man. The white man will fade away and leave Mr. Williams alone in a dark room. The only way you'll see him.....is if he smiles."
