Worldly reflections and a lost dog at Des Moines
A June 30 1966 Washington LA Evening Journal column splits into notes on faith in God through Christ, a misadventure of a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Zambi at Des Moines airport, and light humor about cultural exchanges and a vivid anti alcohol method from Scotland. It contrasts civil aid in police hunts with international goodwill via bridge games and muses on a novel shock therapy idea for addiction and other compulsions. The piece preserves local tone and features named places Des Moines Washington Iowa Assiut Egypt Glasgow Scotland and individuals.
