Winchester Recreation Park Offers Harbored Peaceful Escape
A Park staff writer recounts a relaxing visit to Winchester Recreation Park near Cork Street. The piece highlights a tranquil scene with little traffic, gentle 15 mph speeds, families picnicking, a Frisbee game, quiet Mennonite conversation, and a near deserted amphitheatre and pool. The writer reflects on the park as a Norman Rockwell moment and ends with the motto You don't stop playing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop playing.

Carter Buoyed by Consumer Advocate Talk
Jimmy Carter urged a shift toward stronger consumer protection at a Nader forum in Washington. He backed antitrust measures to empower state AGs and block mergers, supported overturning two Supreme Court limits on class action suits, and proposed curbs on revolving door regulatory moves. He endorsed a Consumer Protection Agency and urged stricter state corporate law while cautioning against broad federal funding for consumer groups.
