Feis boondoggle and Christmas peeve on SSC report
A reader vents over the 1988 FEIS for the superconducting super collider, calling the 4.4 billion project a boondoggle and criticizing its costly 26 pound, 23 volume printing. He notes distribution to lawmakers and officials and mocks the December 1988 timing. He also criticizes outside addresses on Christmas cards and wishes Christ in Christmas. The piece ends with hopes for accountability in January 1989.

Dixon roundup recalls Gacy case and local fires in year-end notes
Ten years ago investigators tore through a Dixon property tied to convicted sex offender John Wayne Gacy searching for bodies. They reported remains under a ranch home and garage with claims of up to 28 more victims. A separate item recalls a 1963 trailer fire destroying a couple's home, with only two dogs saved. Fifty years back, 1938, Dixon churches planned united caroling for Christmas Eve with about 300 youths expected to participate.
