BARDSTOWN, KY. My Old Kentucky Home State Park is, appropriately, the setting for the Stephen Foster Story, a song-filled tribute to the composer...
...moon is rapidly becoming a mark of where one stands on political and social issues. If Apollo was a victory for U.S. engineering genius, it could not disguise American failures at home. That fact has already become a thundering cliche, and one that promises to be heard for a long time. If we can put men on the moon, why can't we build adequate housing?

But these students will return in the fall, and in their eyes the Corporation and the Administration will have been increasingly isolated and exposed by their attempts to punish the leadership of the struggle against ROTC and expansion...
