Approx. 5 items: approx. 80-pp. of transcripts of interviews, likely by Marshall Berges, with Otis Chandler. The interviews were conducted on several days between 8/1980 and 2/1981. The remarks range across many topics: race car driving ; a four-day visit to the Lyndon B. Johnson Ranch in the 1960s ; other Times Mirror business ventures in broadcast media. Part of this material is a 25-pp. transcript of an interview of Otis Chandler by Michael Jackson of KABC (radio). Segments of the 1980 interviews deal with corrections Otis wished to make to comments made earlier.
