The New Jersey Guard lacked radio equipment to keep in contact with the state police, and both Newark and Detroit Guardsmen lacked bulletproof vests and proper riot helmets.

...they cost more than twice the price of conventional stockings. To last year's white has been added both dark brown and black, either sheer or opaque. As for evening, legs have never been so glittery.
