An editorial notes resistance to a slum housing project in Cleveland’s Lee Seville, where middle-class Black residents oppose low-income families moving in. It argues the issue is economic bigotry, not racial prejudice, urging pride in improved housing and mutual aid to combat poverty and social ills.
The column notes quirky song titles heard at school and community events. It mentions Aretha Franklin’s national convention performance, a PTA dig-in to remove playground stickers at Alta Brown Elementary, and a first-of-week kitten giveaway at 1019 N 7th with a second set of kittens offered by a later call.
A reader vents about a new 10 percent surcharge on the tax, arguing Congress has already taxed earnings, property, inheritance and spending. The speaker notes government and spouse now take more than all income, and laments a levy on the funds used to pay taxes.
A confidential FBI report links NBC to a hidden wireless mike placed in the platform committee room during secret deliberations at the Democratic convention. NBC initially blamed producer Enid Roth for the equipment setup, and the wire was traced to an NBC outlet above.
AP reports at a Sierra County fair the Nixon portrait behind a partition faces a red blinking Democratic sign. Democrats offer no comment while Republicans complain the light from the sign makes Nixon appear flushed. Also noted: Mozambique produced 12,400 tons of tea in 1966.
Art Buchwald riffs on Martha's Vineyard as a clever clash of locals and summer visitors. The piece satirizes island divides by town, boats, writers, and social status, ending with a quip about sinus trouble in Menemsha.
Hal Boyle reflects on memory as precious, recalling 1920s hippies, city life quirks, old times on streets, fashions, and social habits. He contrasts rural and urban life, notes changes in cars, mules, bathing attire, and medical routines, and ends with a nostalgic "Those were the days" recap.
