Boyle Reflects on 27 Years of Writing a Column
HAL BOYLE of New York writes on his 27th anniversary as a daily columnist. He recalls his younger, healthier self in 1943 and notes physical changes, while claiming progress in some causes like motherhood and highways and laments stalled efforts on poison ivy, the penny post card, and the dandelion as national flower. The piece ends with a somber note about a worser global state since he began.

Milam says no special session needed for Arkansas AM&N college
Dr. Max Milam, head of the state Administration Department, said no special legislative session is needed to address Arkansas AMGN college finances after a Joint Auditing Committee report showed 1.3 million in liabilities and about a 92 thousand dollar cash shortage. He added a January decision is required on potential bailout, and closing the school would cost more than keeping it open.
