Prospecting for Gold Still Draws Summer Interest

The U S Geological Survey notes renewed gold fever in spring and summer as people seek maps and reports on known deposits. Most placer sites have been reworked since the 19th century and the Depression era, leaving few surface indicators.

Plentiful 1972 Candidates Signal Shifting Forecast

Connecticut Yankee Scoring the Game By Olmstead

The piece argues the central Connecticut tax struggle was a political battle between the Republican governor and the Democratic legislature.

The piece highlights televised exposure and voter impressions shaping the outcome more than policy.

Conservative View on Vietnam Policy and World Ties
