Birthday Bonanza
The town bristled with people eyeing the
gray clouds and wondering if the rain would
put out the candles they planned to light at
dusk. The Lincoln Memorial and
Washington Monument stood neglected at
the ends of the Reflecting Pool as tourists
found something more important to occupy
their attention for the first time in the history
of the city. The smog settled thickly on
Washington, D.C. It was Independence
Day.
The Bicentennial was everywhere on
mugs, T-shirts, flags, cars, smiling faces.The
country was throwing a party and inviting
everyone to bite off a piece of the cake. There
were celebrations in Philadelphia, Boston,
New York. But the real one, the big bash,
had to be held in our nation's capital at the
scenes where it's all happened in the last two
hundred years the Capitol, the
monuments, and the White House, hanging
like a grand old Southern mansion in the
pictures We brought with us in our minds.
Three Tar Heel reporters were there one
to cover the great fireworks, one to learn the
life of a tourist roving about the city, and one
to see the Peoples Bicentennial commission
rally and hear what the people had to say.
Their reports are inside.
Fibbing About The Fourth
On page 7, columnist Cole Campbell,
blows the whistle on John Chancellor,
Walter Cronkite and Ed McMahon by
reporting what the Eastern establishment
press refused to print about the "publick
occurrences, both foreign and domestic" on
the Fourth of July.
You Can Take It Out
Of The Country, But...
When bluegrass visits the Cat's Cradle,
there ain't no tellin' what it willlead to. Often
as not, folks get drunker'n sailors in port and
dance on the furniture till the kegs run dry. A
down-home whinin' fiddle and a twangin'
banjo just does something to people.
Al McCandless, Donald and Paul Beane,
Snuffy Smith and Tommy Edwards
compose the Blusgrass Experience, one of
the hottest bluegrass bands around. Read
about them and their music on page 12.
New Stars And Old Stripes
New stars wore old stripes in Wilson over
the Bicentennial weekend as Carolina,
historically dressed in 15-year-old uniforms,
lost to the North Carolina Collegiate All-
Stars. When the Tarheels looked up,
however,, it wasn't the rockets' red glare but
their opponents' home run balls that filled
the sky. The score was 8-4 and the game story
is on page 17.
