TriMet Service
Changes for MLK Day
TriMet will modify its bus
schedules for the Martin Luther
King Jr. holiday, Monday, Jan.
16, to match ridership demand.
The transit agency carries
more riders on the MLK holiday
than any other holiday, so the
agency is providing more ser
vice than a typical holiday/Sun-
day schedule.
MAX, WES and most buses
will run on regular weekday
schedules.
Saturday schedules will apply
on 10 bus lines: 48-Comell, 52-
F arm in g to n /1 8 5 th A ve, 62-
M urray Blvd, 7 1 -60th A ve/
122nd Ave, 72-Killingsworth/
82nd Ave, 75-Cesar E Chavez/
L o m b a r d ,7 6 - B e a v e r to n /
Tualatin, 77-Broadway/Halsey,
78-B eaverton/L ake O sw ego,
and 88-Hart/198th Ave.

sense of humor.
He said King complained that
while sharing a jail cell, Rev.
R alph A b ern ath y kept him
awake all night with his snoring.
“N ever again, sweet Jesus!”
King roared in mock rage.
King did not confess indiscre
tions, Belafonte says, but he did
indicate that his marriage to
Corretta had become less than
blissful, and that he envied the
entertainer’s ability to divorce
his own black wife and marry a
white woman.
“M artin’s pedestal was a lot
higher and more fragile than
mine,” Belafonte writes. “He
was a moral leader. He knew
how little it would take for him to
be perceived as a hypocrite.”
Belafonte, close enough to
King to know his faults, writes,
“ I had never met anyone as
true to the teachings o f Christ.
His kindness, his sense o f ju s
tice, above all his hum ility -
these were astounding to me.
He was the first true spiritual
force 1 met. And w hile I kept
my d o u b ts, his sp iritu a lity
changed my life.”
