(AP) - Fifteen white supremaciits were indicted in Arkansas and Colorado for murder of a radio talk show host, sedition, attempted murder and other crimes, the Justice Department said Friday. A federal grand Jury In Fort Smith, Ark., accused 10 men of seditious conspiracy, or trying to topple the federal government, over a 21-month period beginning in July 1983. Four other men were indicted on other charges by that grand jury, while three of the 14 men indicted in Arkansas plus a woman now imprisoned in California were accused of the murder of Denver talk show host Alan Berg. He was slain in a submachine gun attack outside his home June 18, 1984. Those named in the indictments had affiliations with such supremacist groups as the Ku Klux Klan; Aryan Nations; and the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord, authorities said. “ Basically, they are anti-Semitic, anti-black,” said Don Pettus, special agent in charge of the FBI in srt. n . Arkansas. He said that he considered the supremacists dangerous and that authorities were on alert for the possibility of retaliatory violence this weekend.

    A UNIQUE FUNDING TRIANGLE CREATES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR URBAN BOYS AND GIRLS The Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (TAP) In our quest to improve the quality of life for Boston's youth the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston depends heavily on the generosity of others. The Frito-Lay Company is a prime exam­ ple of an advocate of the Clubs via an imaginative funding triangle thanks to the New England Patriots. Here's how it works. As the Patriots score points. Frito-Lay scores for the children of Boston, donating $100 to the Boys' and Girls Clubs for each point! This totaled $54.600 in 1980 alone! Throughout the country and. of course. in Boston. businessmen. parents. and the community at large hail this program as one of the most creative charitable donations in ex­ istence. The funds are designated for a very special purpose ...the Boys and Girls Clubs-Frito-Lay Tutorial Assistance Program (known as the Frito-Lay TAP). This education program directly serves over 1,000 children in each of three Clubhouses. Counsellors and tutors reinforce school work, stressing the importance of a well-rounded education. Like the athlete, the student is taught to work daily to improve his skills.Each youngster's individual needs deter­ mine the type of supplemental training he or she receives. Some require help in vocabulary and reading.Others lack suffi­ cient mathematic skills. Still others reap the benefits of science instruction through practical lessons at the Museum of Science. The TAP program provides a strong base for the educational and emotional development of our inner-city kids.

  • RICHARD C. “DICK” STEINBERG SMA Head Football Coach 1961 - 63
    RICHARD C. “DICK” STEINBERG SMA Head Football Coach 1961 - 63 (1935 - 1995) “Dick Steinberg, general manager of the New York Jets [for] six seasons and a respected talent scout who helped build the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots into Super Bowl teams, died 25 September 1995 at the age of 60. “A native of Philadelphia, PA, Steinberg played football and majored in health and physical education at Temple University. He was a coach at Roman Catholic High School in Philadelphia and Head Football Coach at Staunton Military Academy in Virginia (1961 – 63) before becoming an assistant coach at Vanderbilt (1964-66), Kansas State (1967-69) and Southern Mississippi (1970-71). Steinberg first joined the Patriots as a scout in 1972. He also worked briefly in the Dallas and New Orleans organizations. “Steinberg had been the general manager of the New York Jets 1989 – 1995, and, although the Jets fared poorly with a 33-51 record and one playoff appearance during his term as general manager, Steinberg was praised around the National Football League for his skills at drafting collegiate players, his knowledge of the game, his indefatigable work habits and his self-effacing nature. “Steinberg, who began coughing seriously before Christmas 1994, submitted himself for X-rays, thinking he may have had pneumonia. But test results showed that he had what the Jets described as a treatable form of stomach cancer. Dick Haley, the Jets' player personnel director, assumed the duties of general manager when Steinberg began undergoing chemotherapy. “Despite the treatments, he remained involved with the team, sitting in on meetings and voicing his opinions.
