Georgia's hebetudinous Lester Maddox last week denounced textbooks, films and courses that fail to glorify the U.S. Speaking to the Governor's Conference on Education, the former fried-chicken king said: "Some things have been added that should be burned-and you know it." One item that particularly inflamed him was a textbook that called Patrick Henry an "agitator." Maddox said he had been raised to think of Henry as a hero. The audience of educators and school-board members replied with scattered applause. Cross burning may be a dying art in the South, but if Maddox...
Proponents of the SST have a compelling economic argument. U.S. aircraft have dominated world skies for 25 years or more, and last year $1.7 billion worth was sold abroad, the nation's largest single item of capital goods export. Now U.S. supremacy seems threatened. The British-French Concorde, which will carry up to 144 passengers at 1,400 m.p.h., is scheduled to fly supersonically for the first time this month and to go into regular service in 1973. The Soviets are even further ahead; their TU-144 has already logged nearly 200 hours of flight, and may fly passengers...
...Mondale and his fellow Pentagon hecklers, the zenith came in August when they fought-and nearly won-the debate against Nixon's ABM system, one item in the total defense budget.

After it ran an editorial supporting the anti-bra movement among women and even suggesting that "men blatantly exploit women as consumers" by foisting off such an unnecessary item of apparel, the Post got a chiding letter from an unexpected source. Wrote Elder Statesman Dean Acheson: "What traitor or fifth columnist on your staff embittered the war between the sexes by blaming men for the bra? Even as a boy looking at pictures of Boadicea, Britain's warrior...
...Coop to help the larger community in ways other than money. Besides the proposed employment plans, the COC will attempt to set up a reciprocal agreement with area merchants, such that the Coop will recommend customers to other stores in the community if it can't supply a desired item, and vice-versa. May is quick to point out that the Coop's new ideas do not just involve the black community. "We are trying to establish more extensive relations with the whole community, which includes both black and white," says...
