...issue which was presented to the entire Cambridge community by the 900 persons assembled September 4 at the Cambridge Housing Convention was not rising rents, but the rapidly dwindling supply of low-cost housing. The consequence of this is that hundreds and thousands of persons and families of low income are being forced to leave Cambridge. Those most severely hit are the elderly, most of whom live on extremely limited fixed incomes.

Tarver simply replaces them at around $100 a week with earnest young men who flock to Atlanta from all over the South, drawn mostly by the reputations of Patterson and Publisher McGill...
...rates could lead to a new burst of corporate expansion, investors bid stock prices up to a new high for the year. The Dow-Jones industrial average rose 7.83 points in a day to reach 938.28. At that level, it had climbed 68.63 points from its Aug. 9 summer low; it stood only a shade below its 1967 peak of 943.08. Standard & Poor's 500-stock index inched up 0.35 points to its own 1968 high...
