Hoover was a massive baseball fan, but if he ever noticed the game he loved only had white players he never mentioned it. He was also fiercely racist, even by the standards of the late 19th century. “Except for Sundays, we played medicine ball every morning of the week, including official holidays,” Hoover’s Secretary of the Interior wrote in his memoirs.

In 1978 we pounded out newspaper stories on big, black IBM electric typewriters. Woody retired after 50 years in the business and didn’t show up for his going-away party.

"As far as my passion is concerned and competing it's definitely triathlon because I'm still active in that - now I'm more an observer in MMA," he said.
