All are sanitary-code-regulation violations...
...pictures and color comics. Almost all the national and international news was left to the wire services, and there was the usual liberal-conservative mix of columnists: Howard K. Smith and Robert Spivak, Barry Goldwater and Doris Fleeson. The staffers concentrated on covering such local matters as supermarket boycotts and the pants-suit rage...
