A compact reflection on self forgiveness by Pope. It notes that pardoning absurdities in ourselves mirrors the tolerance we expect toward others, suggesting humility and self examination as a path to wiser conduct.
The Beckley newspapers defend integrity and a strong stand for law and order against stealthy elements. They argue that ignoring crime erodes justice, schools, and industry, urging civic involvement and unwavering fairness. They emphasize decades of civic duty and warn against self‑abuse by bystanders. En garde.
A defense of traditional aesthetics argues that computers should not define the ideal female figure. The piece mocks a computer created portrait based on statistics 36-24-36 and 5 feet 5 inches, 118 pounds, saying nontechnical readers can assess beauty without automation and should focus computers on moon missions.
A Washington dining room quip has a girl learning Cuba is the largest country, with its capital in Havana and people in the United States. The notebook surveys views on South Viet Nam confusion, defoliation talk, a Scranton campaign sign, Lodge siesta chatter, and a Lodge draft joke about him appearing in striped pajamas.
A local reader harangues the Register over criticism of the Chamber of Commerce and city officials. He warns of canceling his subscription while noting annexation debates and calls for a city operator’s license. A lost dog is later returned to owners from Florida after a reunion with its Beckley area finder.
The Reverend Dr. John D. Verdery argues in Its Better to Believe that death enhances life and provides meaning. He says belief gives courage to face finitude and that faith prevents life from becoming a pointless bore, while acknowledging bereavement’s pain and offering faith as a framework for understanding.
A Fort Madison to Flagstaff trip is described with late train arrival and heat. The author notes air conditioning, a high level Vista Dome car, and liquor regulations across states from Illinois to California. The piece ends with a prayer by Lance Webb of Columbus Ohio.
Washington observers say Khrushchev uses a cat and mouse approach to prevent any ally from seizing power before his death. Nikolay Podgorny has quietly built patronage, narrowing Brezhnev’s presidential role as rivals fall ill or are preoccupied. Podgorny consolidates influence while Brezhnev, Mikoyan, Kosygin and others focus on ceremonial duties, economy, Sino-Soviet issues, and foreign trips.
The Raleigh city council moved to curb hitchhiking after a request from service station operators and Councilman J O Freeman. The move follows concerns over patronage and links to V N Titov who oversees routine patronage operations. Kremlin speculation says Khrushchev now plays Brezhnev and Podgorny off against each other to prevent any strong successor.
