Jackie Robinson was born 100 years ago today. As a Second Lieutenant in the then-segregated wartime U.S. Army, he figured in
a famous court-martial after objecting to being told to go to the back of the bus. He was acquitted. A powerful, moving special section of today's
New York Times is dedicated to him, and notes the case on page F4.
