ANTI-SHOCKLEY PROTEST ERUPTS ON TV SHOW

Author: Date: Thursday, October 18, 1984
Page: 22
Section: METRO

William Shockley, who theorizes that blacks are genetically inferior to whites, was draped with a Swastika-emblazoned banner by an audience member during Tanya Hart's live WBZ-TV show yesterday afternoon. An unidentified woman walked onto the set during "People Are Talking" with the banner that read "Nazi of the Year." Earlier, other people in the audience chanted ''Hit the road . . . Nazi Shockley go to hell," leading to the first of two longer-than-usual station breaks. Shockley, 74, is a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who later turned his attention to genetics. His theories are largely discredited by other scientists. More recently, Shockley has also advocated that genetically "inferior" people be offered cash for voluntary sterilization.
