Daryl Lemke

Well, can I call in and ask him about it?

Who is the guy to talk to?

No, you think I found out.

Do you have any sex crimes on your record?

But still... I was trying to report from all sides about it.

The big side for me was that he was a hero and the president of the United States was very slow on the take in thanking him for saving his life.

And Daryl thought that Oliver's sexuality, the fact that he was gay, might have something to do with that because just seven months earlier... On March 6th, Sergeant Leonard Matlovich disclosed to a supervising officer at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia that he was a homosexual and wanted to stay in the Air Force.

I still thought it was a national story, and it was pretty hard to ignore it after Herb Koehn had started the ball rolling.

Put it down a ways in the story, but the rewrite guy put it in the lead.

Really?

And made it the big thing.

And the L.A.

Times got a news service.

It's been reported that the ex-Marine who deflected Mrs. Moore's shot on Monday is well known in San Francisco's gay activist circles.

Well, you know, news sources are always reluctant to talk.

And so I guess I took it as my duty to

take up that angle, especially since it involved the President of the United States.

I hadn't taken into account maybe the potential harm of saying it.

I don't know if I'd do it over again or not.

but not able to turn back the clock for something like that.
