Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon, discloses Parkinson’s disease diagnosis The Associated Press CHICAGO — The Rev. Jesse Jackson disclosed publicly Friday that he has been seeking outpatient care for two years for Parkinson’s disease and plans to “dedicate” himself to physical therapy. In a Friday letter to supporters, the 76-year-old civil rights leader said family and friends noticed a change in him about three years ago. He said he could no longer ignore symptoms of the chronic neurological disorder that causes movement difficulties. “Recognition of the effects of this disease on me has been painful, and I have been slow to grasp the gravity of it,” he wrote. “For me, a Parkinson’s diagnosis is not a stop sign but rather a signal that I must make lifestyle changes and dedicate myself to physical therapy in hopes of slowing the disease’s progression.” He noted that the same disease “bested my father.” Noah Lewis Robinson Sr. died in 1997 at age 88.

USC vs. UCLA: O.J. Simpson’s legacy leaves tangled emotions 50 years after ‘Game of the Century Decades before he sat in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom, O.J. Simpson loomed in the backfield on a football field six miles away, his hands resting above grass-stained knee pads. Simpson cast an imposing presence, a towering 6-foot-2 tailback with a sprinter’s smooth stride. As a late fall afternoon in 1967 waned, he crouched in the backfield, steadying for another run. The Trojans trailed UCLA by six points. Ten minutes remained. Needing eight yards on third down, quarterback Toby Page called an audible and triggered one of the most exhilarating finishes the city — and quite possibly the rest of the country — had ever seen from a football star. As Simpson took the handoff, he charged left for seven yards, then grabbed 57 more, zigzagging across the Coliseum turf with his unique blend of grit and grace.
