LOCAL NEWS
Cosell
Continued from Page 8
and, posing as a Puma shoe
salesman, was able to enter the
village through an employee
entrance, since all other
entryways were shut off by tight
security.
He sat on a hill in the village
and broadcast the terrible
events of that day, and said all
he could remember was the
Holocaust and the six million
who perished at the hands of the
Nazis. Cosell said he was par-
ticularly saddened by the event
because he knew one of the vic-
tims, a former Cleveland resi-
dent, David Berger, who had
made aliyah. And so, Cosell con-
cluded, "The last thing I think
of is who wins or loses a game,
or a World Series or a Super
Bowl. They come and they go.
They don't mean a thing to me,"
but added, "I do give a damn. I
care about the human race."
He said if he had to choose his
second most memorable mo-
ment, it is April 15, 1947, when,
for the first time in the major
leagues, a black man, Jackie
Robinson, took the field. "It was
the single most important influ-
ence of my entire life," Cosell
recalled.
Cosell, who was at the Book
Fair to promote his new book, I
Never Played the Game, said he
wrote the volume because "I
have many things to get off my
chest. I wrote the book because
it seared inside my soul."
He was critical of what he
called the mishandling of a
sports event that had world
political significance. He re-
called that in the 1970s, he met
with Cuban leader Fidel Castro
about baseball, since discussions
were taking place to bring a
Cuban baseball team to play in
the U.S.
As Cosell interviewed the
Cuban leader, his producer gave
him instructions to break for a
Jim McKay report on speed
skating in Lake Placid. Cosell
ignored the direction and pro-
ceeded with the Castro inter-
view. "I didn't want to upset the
son-of-a-gun. It's his country
and not mine. I just wanted to
get the hell out of there."
But the producer pulled the
microphone away. Castro
stormed out of the interview,
and Cosell and crew proceeded
to leave the country.
However, Castro detained
them for five hours at the air-
port until the TV crew ex-
plained the situation. Castro
then let the Americans go. The
next day, he sent Cosell a gift of
cigars.
To, add insult to injury, a re-
porter wrote the next day that
Cosell had "Communist tenden-
cies." Why? Because Cosell had
referred to Castro as "El Com-
mandante."
Cosell had
Meanwhile,
learned from Arledge, that the
State Department had been in
secret negotiations with Castro,
and that perhaps he may have
gummed up the works. Arledge
ordered Cosell to call the State
Department to discuss the situa-
tion, but Cosell said that he was
not the one who had caused the
misunderstanding, and that it
,
was the producer's responsibility
to clear up what could have
been a tragic international inci-
dent.
Cosell also was highly critical
of colleges and universities who,
he said, had lost sight of their
mission to educate by placing so
much emphasis on sports.
"Sports are out of whack in this
country when colleges and uni-
versities graduate people who
can't read or write but can drop
a football. Our job is education,
to get back to the basics for
what colleges and universities
are for."
He predicted that boxing
"doesn't have much of a future,"
especially since there is growing
criticism of the sport for the
brain damage caused to its prac-
titioners.
Cosell said the 1972 Munich
massacre did much to
strengthen his Jewish pride, but
having 18 acres on the Hebrew
, University of Jerusalem campus
bear his name and that of his
wife, "is the greatest honor of
my life. I don't deserve that," he
intoned.
Adele Silver, Center cultural
arts director and overseer of the
Book Fair, said about 500 of the
Cosell books ,were ordered for
the fair. If the line at the auto-
graph table was any indication,
I Never Played the Game, was a
sellout.
