...Autry, who owns a major share of the rodeo, sings and announces that if he didn't live in California, he'd live in Boston. A younger Annie Oakley thinks equally well of our fair city. Also present are the Riders of the Purple Sage who are still drifting along the tumbling tumbleweed searching for some cool, cool water. There is also a square dance on horseback, trick riding, and two girls doing trick roping in semi-Bikini type costumes. These interludes do not leave a great amount of time available for events, and since there are over a hundred...
...Middle East propaganda mills have focussed their benevolent attention these past two weeks on the activities of three hostile armies-- Russian, Turkish, and Syrian--currently maneuvering along frontiers where hostile armies have maneuvered for centuries. History offers all parties involved an ample list of unsettled grievances to justify their current posturing, but this time big- power involvement makes the stakes higher and more dangerous than ever before.

Yet the hard reality of the situation in the Middle East today is that a miscalculation on either side could cause these prognostications and a lot more besides--to go up in smoke...
When the great day comes for Benjy to go to school. Mummy is so thrilled that she puts on her college cap and gown and skips along the sidewalk with Benjy, singing her college song. To his "School Mummy," as he calls his teacher. Benjy is unbearably good, too. He pledges allegiance to the flag twice, and he tells teacher things she might not otherwise know-like which kid did the whispering...
