Last year's Songstreet Bluegrass and Folk Festival was a turnaway sellout. With local newgrass star Northern Lights, folk-pop icon Jonathon Edwards and old-time big name bluegrass great The Seldom Scene all playing, the show offered local bluegrass fanatics a night of inspiring music...
Short of a total turnaway from drug use in the U.S., none of these methods will by themselves wipe out the narcotics scourge. What is required is a campaign that combines all of them, pursued by every government in the hemisphere and adequately funded by the only country that can afford it, the U.S. Also needed is a more vigorous program of drug education and prevention in the country with the most abusers, the U.S. Though the drug traffickers seem to have the momentum to carry on, the forces of law-and-order are making some gains.

The Ike-minded Dallas News trumpeted that a Southern governor is now "a satrap-on-sufferance, removable or jailable on the order of a carpetbag judge." "CAESARISM," shrilled one of six anti-Eisenhower editorials in a single issue of the Charleston News and Courier...
