Walton and Sports TV Feuds Quiet Down After Winning Season
The column notes Bill Walton distancing from counterculture but remaining a nonestablishment figure. Playing on a winning team revived his basketball form and eased his protest urges. He once helped fund an anti nuclear power group and offered Playboy an interview for Indian reservation funds but did not show up. He lives with Susan Guth and their son Adam. The piece also touches on Jim Brown's TV role and a query about low cut football shoes linked to Ken MacAfee and George McAfee. It recalls Frost’s 1939 remark on athletics in education.
