Of the 3550th

Well. here it is. another weekend
and time for more of your favorite
news column. This week has been
rather a dull one. Can it be due to

The temporary closing of one of
the Hot Spots has caused consider
able grief in the hearts Of a few
friends of mine. 1t was a rather
convenient rendezvous, wasn't it,
