Heartening Highway and the Korean War Retreat

Truman's Fair Deal softened in State of the Union
The article notes President Truman’s 1941 State of the Union speech showed a cautious tone on domestic reforms. He avoided strong civil rights pushes, kept social security modest, and signaled deferral of some education and health plans while stressing urgent defense and military needs. He faces a split Congress, with Republicans and Southern Democrats constraining major reforms.

The Village News and Forbidden Lion Hunt
By Lovise A. Stinetori a of the tropical belt of the Dark Continent, and the civil administration in our territory, leper colonies exist. Natives hate segregation and fear the camps, so officials find lepers vanish when they visit villages. A funeral calm yields three events: a ceremonial lion hunt inviting boys, Job’s refusal seen as cowardice, and Jackie’s marriage to the chief’s granddaughter with a price of five goats, leading to a village feast at my expense.
