...affected, of course, are the present residents of Aitkin County. Some have banded together to form a "Save Our Northland" committee devoted to doing everything it can to preserve the area's deer and quail hunting and wild, uncrowded spaces. But other residents favor having MXC as a neighbor. "What do we have to lose?" asks Housewife Barbara Hansen. Right now the county's job opportunities are so limited that the only future for her children is "a one-way ticket to Minneapolis. With MXC we have a chance to give them a choice."

In November 1928, a light plane narrowly missed exterminating the Harvard Band in a freak crash on Soldiers' Field, and The Crimson duly reported the affair. One of the plane's two passengers, Gordon Cairnie, has been The Crimson's next door neighbor for many years, as proprietor of the Grolier Book Shop. When reminded of the event, and The Crimson coverage a few weeks ago, he said "It you write about it, be sure to mention the Grolier Book Shop." And so we have...
