In San Antonio near the Alamo a gallant Texan effort fights money woes to save HemisFair 68. City officials insist victory is inevitable, arguing the fair already represents a win for the community despite reported losses and weak finances.
HemisFair 68 replaces decaying wards with a new convention center park and monorail loop. It positions San Antonio as a model city, emphasizing a jewel box fair, Mexican participation, and a six month run to qualify as a world’s fair. Attendance hopes hover around 6.6 to 7.5 million, with early optimism tempered by lower first months.
At the National Arboretum in Washington a new Touch and See Nature Trail lets blind visitors explore trees shrubs and a pond by touch guided by Braille explanations. Jeanette Gerrard of Takoma Park and Percy Johnson from the area experience scent sound and texture while a staff team from the Arboretum and the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind prepared the path. The trail spans about a third of a mile with fixed ropes and accessible markers enhancing discovery for visually impaired participants.
