Are you a Todd Rundgren Utopian or Thomas Moore?

I'm more of a "Looking Backward" Utopian. But I haven't read it in over 40 years.

BTW, I'll have more on this thread shortly, but I'll start a new one just on Whitfield. In case anyone is still reading this, Whitfield did not graduate from Ohio State University, but from Cal State Los Angeles.

Correct, although he concluded his NCAA eligibility while at Ohio State.

There was a question regarding his collegiate eligibility in 1956, and while the question was being resolved he anchored CSLA's winning SMR at Modesto.

< Two other things that I remember about Santa Barbara. I saw the movie Carousel at one of those wonderful huge old theaters. The inside dome was black and the small lights made you think that you were outside. A wonderful setting for a wonderful movie. Today you probably don't even see the stars in urban settings in Southern California. It is rare even in Western Massachusetts where I now live. >

That was the Arlington Theatre. The theatre still exists, but they seem to be using it only for concerts/shows and not movies (went to UCSB in late 1960s and checked it out on last visit in 2002).
