Career[edit]
King grew up in Boston, the son of a local sportswriter, and attended Boston College.[4][5] Prior to joining NASA, King worked for the Associated Press. He opened the AP's Cape Canaveral bureau in 1958, when he was 27 years old.[6] King joined NASA in 1960, and served as the Kennedy Space Center's Chief of Public Information from 1960 to 1971, and as NASA's Public Affairs Officer from 1971 to 1975.[4]
After NASA, he spent two years as Director of Public Affairs for the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration (later part of the United States Department of Energy),[7][8] and another 15 years as executive vice president of Occidental Petroleum.[7][8] He was appointed director of communications at the Fuqua School of Business in 1993.[5] In 1997, King returned to Cape Canaveral and the U.S. manned space program, joining the United Space Alliance,[7] where he served as spokesman.[9]
King officially retired in October 2010, but continued to serve as a volunteer public affairs officer for NASA.[10]

History[edit]
The original Blackjacks[edit]
The duo first joined forces in 1971. They were managed by Bobby Heenan.[1]
The Blackjacks won multiple tag team titles, including the WWA Tag Team Championship and two tag-team championships in WCCW. They, however, are most known for winning the WWWF Tag Team Championship (with Lou Albano as their manager) on August 26, 1975 by defeating Dominic DeNucci and Pat Barrett.[2]
On April 1, 2006, The Blackjacks were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Heenan.[1]
The New Blackjacks[edit]
In early 1997, Mulligan’s son, Barry Windham, and Lanza’s nephew, Justin 'Hawk' Bradshaw, formed The New Blackjacks in the WWF. They were known as Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw, who originally competed as heels, but later as babyfaces.[3] They competed in a four-way tag team match at WrestleMania 13, which was won by The Headbangers. They would then feud with The Godwinns. The team never reached the success of their predecessors and disbanded in January 1998, as Windham turned on Bradshaw.
