Publisher Lee E. Kelly and editor L. Edward Kelly Jr. contribute local editorial pages on the June 24 1971 edition. Content reflects opinions and commentary typical of a mid-century newspaper.
A 1971 Gallup poll found 26 percent of adults read a book completely in the past three months, the highest since 1958, while newspaper circulation rises. The piece argues reading aids knowledge, history, faith, and citizenship, noting illiteracy at 1.4 million over 14 and urging reading as empowerment.
Josef Carl Engressia Jr., a blind 20 year old with perfect pitch for dial tones, faced charges after routing calls worldwide. Judge Ray Churchill reduced the charges and a Memphis area job offer follows a light fine amid company praise for his skills.
A conservative view argues the Times violated law by publishing the Pentagon Papers and should face indictments. It calls government action against editors proper, endorses arrest and criminal charges under Title 18, Section 793, to deter leaks and defend the rule of law.
A review outlines Love Story as original yet flawed with sympathetic Harvard setting and a hockey hero. The article recounts Segal’s Yale hostility, media reaction, and radical pressure steering his later public stance and interviews.
A reader asks how to address a friend whose private matters are being shared. The adviser suggests first speaking privately with the other person involved, then, if needed, with the friend, in a calm prayerful Christian spirit.
The column covers starting a jewelry store with a partner and obtaining small business publications. It also notes home study nursing courses and a Bellevue Hospital School of Nursing program for male adults, plus legal aide training prospects and growing demand for legal technicians.
The narrator recalls Memphis as a boyhood home interleaved with Plant City Florida. He wanders between memories from the 1930s to 1971, seeing ghosts of his younger self and recalling the river, the Sheik boat, and a gulf of time that blurs past and present.
A reflective narrator recalls youth in a river town with father a river pilot, telegrams, and long night rides. Fragments recount a Ku Klux Klan parade, a bootlegger gift, and ghostly trolley rides as memory fades into dark Midtown scenes.
The narrator revisits a long vanished home on Breedlove Palmetto street, now bulldozed and empty under snow. He recalls a past driven by skating parties and friends Porky Glatt, Chicken Price, Skeeter Britton, Ace Vancucchi, and others, watching the now-ruined block from a fire escape.
