...bombs sent shrapnel in all directions. There were many heroes. Chief Warrant Officer James Helton of San Diego was knocked down repeatedly, yet managed to get up and continue to fight the blaze. Airman Jack Benson of Portland, Ore., is credited with having helped 30 men escape the fire area...
...President is offered a simple choice in determining a nation's priorities; no budget is ever enough to take care of all those who, like Oliver Twist, ask for more. In the next 18 months, the probable area of savings-about $2 billion-is not enough to take care of the demands of the cities, of education and of welfare that could easily absorb the anticipated dividend from the end of the Viet Nam war.

Every year, some 20,000 new residents settle around Seattle. Mainly well-educated professionals, they are drawn to the area by good jobs, good schools, and the prospects of the good life - sailing on Puget Sound, skiing in the high Cascades, hiking in the Olympic ranges.

The committee canvassed Seattle and its surrounding King County, welcoming all suggestions. One woman wrote: "I wish every time I came out of a downtown office building that I could see a little greenery." Replied...
...reason that rock music in general, and the Boston Sound in particular, is such a confused area is that there are no critical standards by which to judge the music. White rock musicians today have nothing, in Dylan's phrase, to live up to. And the audiences will pay in turn to be insulted (The Mothers), bored (The Ultimate Spinach), assaulted (The Fugs and MC 5), ignored (The Jefferson Airplane and Procol Harum), and urinated upon by a lukewarm assemblage of beligerent flower-cretins. Entertainment is left up to a very few white groups who know how to act onstage...
