Ray allowed to rejoin inmates after good behavior
Ray, the convicted killer of Martin Luther King Jr., is allowed to rejoin other inmates at Brushy Mountain State Prison in Tennessee. He may walk within the prison yard from dawn to noon and use the gym, laundry, library and recreation room, though he remains a safe risk given his 99 year sentence. The piece also notes Berlin paying $8,000 for John F. Kennedy draft of Ich bin ein Berliner and Captain Kangaroo host Bob Keeshan receiving UTs 1978 Dewitt Carter Reddick Award amid campus debate.
