Army officer blocked from promotion over dissent readin g and style in 1990s era probe
Second Lt. Randolph J. Forrester, 23, faced an Army intelligence job denial and a delayed promotion after being interrogated about his reading habits, attitudes on the Vietnam War, and opinions of the U.S. government. Commanders cited indifference and a slovenly attitude, while no policy prohibited Huck Finn footwear or granny glasses. Forrester appeals, plans Vietnam, and a separate Senate protest over prison conditions in South Vietnam is rebuffed by the White House.

Musings On An American Cruise
An American flag ship voyage costs about 495 dollars per person for a two week trip, with 21 knot cruising and full ship life. The Santa Rosa route visits Curacao, La Guaira, Jamaica, Haiti, Port Everglades, and New York, drawing both romance and sharp economic observation on U.S. merchant ships, naval power, and foreign ownership of Grace Lines. Spyros Skouras, 77, heads Prudential Grace after buying the line, contrasting U.S. ships with foreign ownership amid a shifting global fleet.

What Price Memories by Hal Boyle
People were so friendly on streetcars that at least ten strangers would offer to help if hiccups struck. Airplanes were a novelty drawing crowds to airports every Sunday. Grandma laid down the law to grandpa about tobacco. A dog collar cost little, with a brass nameplate. Every telegram carried the word love. Those were the days.

Law on cleaner storage and sale of unclaimed articles
In Pennsylvania a cleaner has no automatic right to enforce storage claims for articles left with him. He may charge storage if he gives explicit notice that storage will be charged. He may sell articles after 30 days if the bill remains unpaid, with proper notice akin to a sheriff’s sale. Proceeds first cover the cleaner’s bill, any excess to the owner if timely action is taken.
