Osservatore called on police to crack down, and within 48 hours Rome police did, but with tact befitting a nation anxious to remain the world's No. 1 tourist attraction. A "strict and precise" directive to police noted that under Article One of the Concordat between Italy and the Vatican state, "police are obliged to prevent and repress any abuse against morality. Those found in succinct clothing will be gently invited to leave and to dress themselves with greater decorum. In cases of resistance, they will be identified, reported to their respective embassies and prosecuted...
...after Davis' story ran in the Post (circ. 203,743), Houston Justice of the Peace Dave Thompson summoned a court of inquiry and decided that the only way to halt Houston's armaments race was by "strict enforcement" of the law requiring gun buyers to show a certificate.

On land diverted from corn and wheat under acreage allotments, farmers bring in crops - barley, soybeans, sorghums...
Dick was brought up to become nothing less than a repository of Southern traditions and an exemplar of Southern character. Father was a Presbyterian and mother a Methodist, a strict disciplinarian who wielded the peachtree switch and leather strap on the children "until the blood came." Twice, before Dick was 13, the Bible was read aloud in family meetings-all the way through. Well Dick learned the old family stories-great-grandfather had owned a plantation and 35 or 40 slaves; grandfather had his cotton mill on Sweetwater Creek burned down and his slaves set free by Sherman...
