Acting City Manager Tom Cochran notes plans for a public relations firm to improve Scottsdale’s image may cost at least $1,000 monthly plus printing and mailing. He argues misinformation can be corrected via regular news channels and existing staff, urging funds be spent on essential services instead.
Ralph McGill argues Kennedy’s Europe tour was realistic and timely despite lacking immediate gains. The piece highlights De Gaulle’s influence, Spaak’s support, and Spaak’s Foreign Affairs Quarterly Review article Hold Fast defending the West, urging no major rethinking of postwar policies.
The piece argues that Kennedy offers the Western world its strongest leadership against De Gaulle and Soviet pressure. It notes European leaders and press criticize Kennedy’s journey, while Spaak stresses Atlantic unity. De Gaulle fears U S troop withdrawal and nuclear aims, but Spaak warns Soviet attack would threaten the United States as well. Kennedy’s visit is portrayed as crucial for collective defense.
A childlike reflection imagines peace through straw draws between leaders Kennedy and another man. The piece humorously suggests a world where children decide conflicts and questions the ease of solving global problems.
City Manager Keo Williams is recovering from a heart attack and plans a limited return to work soon. His absence has been felt as Scottsdale faces multiple challenges and his experience is greatly needed.
Marquis Childs notes President Kennedy faces deep Italian resistance to change as he pursues dialogue with political opponents. Segni, dubbed The Iron Invalid, resists shifts toward the left, while U.S. aid and diplomacy provoke debate on intervention and stability in a republic still shaped by fascist memories.
The piece casts Kennedy as a Hadrian like figure guiding a fragile alliance based on his power awareness. It notes Italy's 1960s corruption feeding Communist gains and recalls repeated ambassador efforts to reform, while acknowledging uncertain outcomes from Kennedy’s brisk diplomacy.
Washington five operating rail unions issue a joint statement denouncing Secretary Wirtz proposal as surrendering workers rights. The quote frames the plan as a classic in labor relations. The piece also covers Cardinal Wyszynski warning Poland over religious freedom and a Marietta man sought for kidnapping after a pistol threat during a hit and run probe.
Barry Goldwater argues liberalism produces vacillation and lacks guiding principles. He contends programs replace values, cites poverty and social engineering, and praises productive restraint that kept the economy afloat amid liberal burdens. He questions the nation’s future if tax brakes are not released. He ends by asking, How do you stand, sir.
Doris Fleeson notes Kennedy can present himself to the progressive Pope at this moment as he leads a national drive for social justice and seeks a nuclear test ban with Russia. The Pope’s ecumenical council is reconvened for late September, and liberal Catholics hope for alignment with Vatican urging reform.
The piece argues the new Pope differs from his predecessor John XXIII and may influence US policy on race, Brazil’s justice issues, and relations with the Soviet Union. It notes Kennedy’s commitment to social justice and questions Vatican attitudes toward Communism and Cold War dynamics.
In a humorous critique, Bill Vaughan questions a familiar movie scene where a husband leaves home promising to join a club then returns soaked and chastened, noting his meager funds and the unseen challenge of packing a bag in the plot.
A reader describes how real life separations differ from fiction with a wary parable about a husband packing a suitcase and a wife’s abrupt exit. The text satirizes contrived dramatic exits and the predictable, meticulous domestic details that supposedly signal marital endings.
