The father of the onetime NBC reporter/sometime anchor, now at AJA, would 
occasionally show up on C-SPAN back in the heyday of *USA TODAY*, which he 
helped the late Al Neuharth build, to chat with hosts or bring their cams 
into editorial board meetings... he rose through the ranks at Gannett's 
Nashville *Tennessean* paper, briefly leaving to work with the ill-fated 
Robert Kennedy's campaign, where he was famously brutalized by Klansmen 
fighting the integration of intercity buses... later on, he was one of the 
first to expose Wikipedia for the less-than-accuracy of enough of its 
contents.

At his Nashville home; 86.
