...retirement is an extravagant waste of people pie. I've seen the tragedy and poignancy of people being pushed out of their jobs, having their health falter because there is nothing to live for. Economically, socially and spiritually, it's wrong." The words alone would qualify Claude Denson Pepper as Congress's leading foe of mandatory retirement; the fact that the Representative from Miami is 77 years old makes him an undeniable Capitol Hill champion...
Indeed, any resemblance between the old Trib and the new entry is coincidental. Though Saffir has chosen as editor John Denson, seventyish, who also edited the Herald Tribune (from 1961 through 1962), the new Trib will lack one important characteristic of its predecessor: news.

Most people said something about this to their children...

Says Ed Denson, Country Joe's manager: "When these people talk about revolution, they mean protest, but they found that the word revolution shocks. The MC5 are taking a protest one step further to get attention." The MC5 clearly practice much of what they preach, as is shown by their string of arrests on charges of noisemaking, obscenity and possession of marijuana. Just as clearly, even their most aggressive songs...
