...politicians gave tongue on the issue, but City Council Candidate Frank Gold came out flatly for dogs and against leashes. "I am not afraid," said Gold boldly. At the election he was defeated, and the leash law was passed by a solid majority, 55,013 to 39,917. Last week, adding impost to injury, the Denver Health Department proposed a tax on pet food to pay for the law's enforcement. Mayor Quigg Newton quickly killed the idea, but bristling dog owners held a protest meeting to plan repeal of the leash law at the August city election...
...West Point Museum, the President pored over Custer's last battle map of the Little Big Horn country, and the courier's note that brought his last despairing cry for rein forcements. "Oh, look at this," cried the President, espying "Little Phil" Sheridan's gold-plated Winchester. Then, through an open doorway, the President spotted the flaming-sword emblem of his Supreme Headquarters in Europe, and he blurted: "Oh, by gosh, there's my old flag.

Last week his story was told in Paris by Emmanuel La Graviére, Calvinist minister and Assemblyman of the French Union. "In the course of an investigation...
Passers-by stop under a glittering Gold Coast marquee that spells out "Metropole Cafe," peer into the gloom to see where all the noise is coming from. What they see looks like an alley lined with mirrors. On one side is a 110-ft.-long bar, on the other a cluster of dime-size tables. Behind the bar, on a narrow, chest-high platform, is a line of musicians, cash registers at their toes and microphones at their shoulders. The Metropole, it turns out, is one of the sturdiest Northern outposts of an obsolescent brand of music: Dixieland jazz...
