Agnew, the athlete, speaks
NEW YORK (UPI)—"I like to get out and play golf and 'ennis,' said Spiro T. Agnew. "It gives me a chance to apologize."
Grinning and wisecracking about his famous slips on links and court, the Vice-President of the United States made bantering small talk with golfer Arnold Palmer as a guest on the NBC Tonight Show.
Agnew walked onto the stage
July 24
1970 KANSAN 5
at an afternoon taping of the show, which is aired late at night, carrying a tennis racquet and two golf clubs. The self ridicule reference was to his pinging the neck of golf pro Doug Sanders with a shot in the Bob Hope Classic and his hitting his own partner, Joseph Blatchford, with a serve in a tennis match.
Palmer was acting as substitute host on the show, which usually is run by Johnny Carson.
Before Agnew came on, Palmer noted that his co-host, Ed McMahon, was standing aside "just a shank away" and then said of
his guest, "You know he shanks once in a while too."
"I brought my weapons with me," Agnew said as he walked on, "And that's no joke as far as I'm concerned."
Then he got in a jolt in what some consider his running bicker with certain newspapers and newscasters.
"I came through the lobby just now and I said: 'Where's the greenhouse?' They said: 'We don't have any greenhouse at NBC.' And I said: 'I thought any place where Chet Huntley walked there'd be something growing."
Garrett returned to active duty
William Garrett, the Lawrence patrolman who shot and killed Rick Dowdell last Thursday night, was returned to active duty with the force after a coroner's jury ruled the slaying "was not felonious."
Garrett had previously been relieved of his duties, an act which Mike Elwell, assistant county attorney, said was routine under the circumstances.
Members of the black community had submitted a petition demanding Garrett's dismissal from the force.
