Zapata clash at Oakland City Council meeting over water court
Alfonso Zapata, a 270 pound Oakland mayoral candidate, clashed with Patrolman Elwin Lamp Jr at a City Council session when his bulk blocked the speaker, leading to Zapata's removal. Meanwhile Lindy Boggs won Louisiana's special election for her late husband Hale Boggs' seat, defeating Robert K. Lee with strong margins. The report also notes Charles Steen's bankruptcy after a famed Utah uranium strike, President Nixon's piano hobby, and Walter Lippmann's hospitalization.
