Appalachia Aid and ARA Extension Top Johnson Budget Request
President Johnson urged Congress to move quickly on Appalachia aid while seeking an extension of the Area Redevelopment Act. He proposed 107 million dollars in fiscal 1966 for development and 400 million for contingencies, and pressed to tailor aid to areas of greatest need and to extend the ARA beyond June 30. The ARA faced criticism as pork barrel politics amid loans to private firms.

Portraits and a restless mind of Sir Winston Churchill
An obituary style reminiscence notes Churchill as a frail yet enduring figure. It highlights his royal academy status, honorary US citizenship, and paintings valued around ten thousand dollars each. It recalls his 1915 shift after the Dardanelles failure, his stubborn interview sting, and earning a living from age 21 without a salary. It ends with reflections on his wealth, heirs, and the Shakespearean line about not seeing his like again.
