"He described how the undercover agent took Jack and several other defendants on a post-lunch tour to see scores of assault rifles he had stowed in a recreational vehicle parked in downtown Sacramento.

Bevel, an ordained Baptist minister, came to prominence when he was Alabama project coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a civil rights organization led by King. In the early 1960s, the SCLC campaigned to desegregate Birmingham's downtown stores, which led police Commissioner Eugene "Bull" Connor to respond with police attack dogs and fire hoses turned at full blast against the peaceful protesters. Over the objections of King and his other advisors, Bevel rallied youngsters in Birmingham to the front lines of civil rights demonstrations .

The Sun Devils then extended their advantage to 62-40 when junior forward Jeff Pendergraph scored inside and drew Gibson's fifth foul. But the Trojans, who failed to fully capitalize on a first-half stretch in which Arizona State went scoreless for nearly nine minutes, stormed back behind a flurry of three-point baskets from Mayo, who made seven of 10 shots from beyond the arc for the game. Mayo's last three-pointer with 3:04 left pulled USC to within 71-62, and the Trojans got the ball back after a turnover by Sun Devils freshman James Harden, who scored 24 points.

Southern California, where even great restaurants need to have a big green salad on the menu, has suddenly gone crazy for pork fat.
