Letters to the Editor - Student protests, Vic Colon, Alan Steelman, Aaron Rodgers, remembering drugstores in South Dallas
Readers talk about student protests, loved the story about the mayor of Lovers Lane, lament the lack of politicians like Alan Steelman, ask about the Cowboys taking Aaron Rodgers and reminisce about the drug stores of days gone by.

Learn from the tragedies
On May 4, 1970, Ohio National Guard soldiers fired 67 shots into a crowd of student anti-war protesters at Kent State University, killing four and wounding 13 others, with one left paralyzed as a result of his injuries. Students had been protesting President Richard Nixon’s announcement that the U.S. had secretly been bombing neutral Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam War.
