Editorials recall gratitude to the Lord and helpful wisdom from William James while a reader mocks himself after a published photo. The columnist jokes about aging, future retakes, and public reaction, noting personal humility and the desire to overlook slurs and jests.
A Rockwell City Iowa inmates defense fund seeks contributions to support Mary Lou Carstens, Iowa's only woman lifer serving a life sentence for first degree murder in 1968. They note appeals denied, mention alleged trial errors, and describe Carstens as a trusted community figure aiding programs at the reformatory.
A 1975 Dear Abby column presents multiple reader inquiries on delicate topics. A 72-year-old man reports a topless encounter with his son's wife and advises telling his son.
