June 1962: Wrecking Project on for Acorn

Wrecking project on for Acorn [projects]. Who missed this mistake? Was this a mistake? Who was the Copy Editor at the Trib in 1962?

May 9, 1925: As I Delve into Bestor Robinson...

I am aware that I have had certain expectations regarding Bestor Robinson. I think the picture is more complex and more pathetic than I realized at first. Or is that my expectation too? I expected him to be a hero. It seemed like he was going to be one. Then he just up and changed his course, or so it seems to me. And then there is his "other" life: the outdoor adventurer and WWII hero.

From here, it is easy to imagine why the son of an Oakland Judge might have turned away from this public life and turned towards the hilly life in the hand of his father-in-law, Senator Arthur H. Breed. But wait! The context and the motivation are forthright! Was it the opinion of the Trib expressed in the placement of the announcements side by side?
