- DIED. John Henry Faulk, 76, folksy Texas humorist and
- author; in Austin. Popular on radio and early television as a
- storyteller, he was fired by CBS in 1957 after a McCarthy era
- anticommunist group, Aware, Inc., put him on its hit list for
- alleged communist ties. Faulk's successful 1962 libel suit
- against the group and his 1964 book, Fear on Trial, describing
- his ordeal helped end such blacklisting.
