To his family, to his friends, he is not Rodney. They call him by his middle name, Glenn. He hurts inside. He's changed outside. Slimmed down, his 210 pounds resembling those of a pro football wide receiver. He leads his family with serious focus.. . .
The past for him has drawn an unwanted spotlight of troubles... There was the alley incident with Hollywood vice police, who claimed King tried to run them down after allegedly picking up a transvestite male prostitute... King was arrested after his wife called the police to say she had been injured and feared for her life.
[Ed.: Interviewing Mr. King on the fifth anniversary of the Los Angeles riots, CNN reporter Anne McDermott pointed out that he now thought the police were improving, "But what about the rest of us? Us blacks and whites and browns and yellows? Are we improving?" King replied: "As far as individuals, we have a lot of work to do. A lot."]
