A reader recalls finding a 38 page inspirational book titled When a Man Comes to Himself by Wonioy Wilson. The pamphlet, dating to around 1900, promises a self improvement formula and discusses self discovery and personal adjustment.
The text cites Woodrow Wilson advocating focusing on money making and practical politics to gain experience in business and public life. It contrasts Peale's mental bootstraps with Wilson’s call to immerse in real affairs. Wilson’s career path from Princeton professor to president is outlined with emphasis on reformer’s approach and moral enthusiasm.
Cape Canaveral officials reported the first phase of the split countdown for astronaut M. Scott Carpenter’s orbital flight completed, but launch conditions remained uncertain due to forest and swamp fires producing smoke upstream toward the launch pad.

Councilman John Woudenberg joked about taking out life insurance on him.
