Dr. Lawrence Taylor appeared as
a witness in a $1 million libel suit
against Mailer and Playboy filed by
Elmo Henderson, 42, a
heavyweight who once was a sparr
ing partner of former world cham
pion George Foreman.
Taylor said Mailer’s article, “The
Fight ”, caused Henderson depres
sion by indicating he had been a pa
tient in a mental hospital.
The article, describing the 1974
Foreman-Muhammed Ali fight in
Zaire, Africa, said, “Foreman had a
sparring partner named Elmo Hen
derson, once heavyweight cham
pion of Texas and not too recently
released from the Nevada State
Hospital for the Insane.”
Playboy apologized for the state
ment in its October 1975 issue, and
Mailer, who was expected to testify
in the case, said later he did not
know the statement about the state
hospital was false.
Attorneys for Playboy and Mailer
sought a summary judgment before
trial began on grounds that Hender
son was a public figure and not sub
ject to libel findings such as could be
awarded a private individual.
However, U.S. District Judge
Owen Cox found, “that the motion
for summary judgment must be and
is denied because defendant has not
shown as a matter of law that plain
tiff is a public figure.”
Cox earlier had rejected several
other attempts to have the case dis
missed.

Texas A&M University Town Hall presents
Special Attraction #4
Ronnie Milsap and Asleep at the Wheel
will kick off the week of activities that will
end with the Texas A&M vs. Texas Univer
sity football game. On Tuesday night,
November 22, these two groups will per
form at 8:15 p.m. in G. Rollie White Col
iseum, as a Town Hall Special Attraction.
Overnight success came to Ronnie Mil-
sap in 1974 when he was named Male Vo
calist of the Year by the Country Music As
sociation and also received a Grammy
award for Top Male Country Performer.
Today Milsap is still in the spotlight as he
recently received the 1977 Country West
ern Entertainer of the Year Award.
Although Milsap studied classical music
in school, there was no stopping his inter
est in rock and roll, blues, and country that
he obtained as a boy. During his high
school years at the State School for the
Blind in Raleigh, North Carolina, Ronnie
formed his own rock band, The Appari
tions, with three other blind students.
To the delight of all audiences, Ronnie's
shows include definite strains of blues,
rock, and classical lines in his country
songs. He feels, "Country music speaks of
life and shows emotion that other forms
can’t project. A country song has the power
to make you laugh or cry; it relates more
closely with the people than any other form
of music. I try to reach from as far left to as
far right as I can in my music. I don’t like to
stay just in the middle. I like to play hillbilly
one minute and rock and roll the next —
something that sounds like 1940 one min
ute and 1999 the next. I know for me, I’m
happy with my life and what I do. I don’t
have to see to play or sing and to feel the
love of the people.”
Opening the concert will be Asleep at the
Wheel. The small country rock band was
formed in the early 1970’s on the East
Coast. Soon their music developed into
what is known as Western Swing, which
first spread through Texas in the 1930’s.

Asleep at the Wheel moved to Austin in
1974 and played to numerous warm and
responsive audiences. Several of their al
bums including Texas Gold and Wheelin'
and Dealin' hit both the country and pop
charts. The band has become an eleven-
member group now with the addition of a
second fiddler, giving the group that twin
fiddle around which typifies Western
Swing music.
Neither Ronnie Milsap nor Asleep at the
Wheel are new to A&M. Milsap gave an
overwhelming performance to Aggies last
spring, while Asleep at the Wheel returns
from 1975. Both are expected to entertain
young and old alike, whether you love
country western or blues and rock. So ya’
come and bring your friends.
Tickets and information are available at
the MSC Box Office from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.,
Monday-Friday, 845-2916.
