La Follette Dies Leaving Legacy in Politics
The passing of Robert M. La Follette drew wide notice as thousands gathered to honor the "champion of the common people." Ladd of North Dakota followed, reducing insurgent leadership and signaling contested succession amid shifting conservative and progressive forces. Father’s Day observations appeared modest, with reflections on family sentiment and enduring influence. An ancient Arizona find of 120-room apartment ruins challenged modern apartment myths, suggesting continuity rather than novelty in human settlements.
