Mao Zedong and the Path to Communist China
A lengthy retrospective traces Mao Zedong from the Long March through founding the People's Republic in 1949 to his later years and the shifting Sino Soviet relations. It notes key figures like Chou En-lai, Peng Dehuai, and Lin Biao, and the changing Western engagement culminating in Nixon's 1972 visit. The piece emphasizes Mao's leadership, purges, and long-term ambitions for communism in China.

Train Hits Oregon School Bus in Morning Crash
In Lafayette Oregon a train rammed a McMinnville District bus, killing two 13 year old students and injuring many others. Authorities identified victims Annette Smith and Cristina Espinosa, while driver Rudy Baker survived with injuries. Witnesses said the bus paused at a crossing with no gates before the collision, and the sun may have blinded the driver as the train at 25 mph struck the bus twice. The incident left 41 children aboard, 34 treated for minor injuries, and the town shaken by the tragedy.

Pitfalls in Ridgeville windfall tax talks stir officials
Beitler criticized the timing of Pijor's levy announcement as confusing and said officials sought details on how much new money would be available but were unable to obtain it from the auditor. Pijor claimed not to recall discussing the levy and blamed state reapportionment confusion. Voter turnout appeared light as polls remained open, with a 2.5 mill operating levy previously defeated in June. Inside millage applies first 10 mills and is not voter approved. outside millage beyond 10 mills requires votes and is affected by a new law to keep revenue stable.
