Impeding The Supreme Court Focus Turns To Justice Douglas
As the 185th Supreme Court begins its autumn session public attention centers on Justice William O. Douglas who suffered a stroke last New Year’s Eve. His ability to function remains reduced and the question is whether he can handle forthcoming sessions. If he cannot, impeachment seems unlikely and retirement unlikely. The piece notes past similar adjustments, the role of public opinion, and compares Douglas to historic justices while pondering the court’s future integrity. It also mentions Treasury plans to mint two cent pieces and revive the two dollar bill to ease inflation pressures.

Stuart's Rescue by Dorothy MacDowell
A tale set two centuries ago recounts Lieutenant John Stuart defending Ft. London before it fell to Attakul lakulla. The Indian chief allied with Stuart, then later claimed him for hunting and sent him north with Virginians led by Col. Byrd, while colonial suspicions of Stuart’s ties to Native leaders prompted his flight from Charles Town in 1775. He journeyed to Lady's Island, Savannah, and St. Augustine.
