Over the Coffee
By Harlan Miller

When the case gets to the Supreme Court, the mayor of Pacific Junction, Ia., will have a couple of things to explain. 
First, what did he mean with this cryptic remark to the Negro:
"I believe you are mooching for work & are a vagrant!"
(So it's mooching to look for work, eh?)

And why, after giving the Negro an hour to leave town was he accosting him again in half an hour? Did the mayor's watch have ants in his pants?
Anyhow my congratulations to the 6 young men who remonstrated with him. They made me prouder to be an Iowan.

Every year more & more of the football is played by the sons of immigrants. I've lost my clipping of the recently imported names in Harvard's lineup, but Yale has her Pivcevich, Prchlik & Nadherny, Navy her Shimshak & Schiweck & Princeton her Peratoni. They haven't got clutchpedal legs yet.

" - the general's love making: too brief"

They're having atomic energy week at Burlington, under the guidance of energetic, atomic Dorothy Schramm... One is intensely curious about the follow up. What happens after the Burlingtonians understand atomic energy, say about next Saturday?

Are we any closer to One World, or do we still continue to elect the same kind of scissorbills who'll have us all blown up by atomic bombs some day? Anyhow, the Burlingtons are brighter than we in the DM hinterland; we'd need at least an Atomic Energy Fortnight
