It's awfully easy to say “no”;
to a new idea, or “Who needs
It?” and to treat It like an un-
welcome stranger. And, it’s just
human nature to want to tinker j
with it and reshape it so that It;
looks like something ntore con-
ventional and familiar.
It's a lot less intimidating If
you can pad and insulate the
shockingly strange parts of it !
and grind off the rough edges J
And sandpaper it to death.
.“An idea that/ isn’t dangerous
la hardly worth calling an
idea,” said Oscar Wilde.
He was right. It’s the shock-
ing part, the frightening aspect,
the unknown element that
makes an idea an idea in the
first place.

Patching
Becomes
Too Costly
By D. L. PRENTICE
Record Staff Writer
West Broadway is getting a
much-needed new top from Es-
planade to Frederick William.
City street crews yesterday
started ripping off the old, bro-
ken pavement from Terrell to
Frederick William, and today
started laying a new layer of
base material.
The street was originally pav-
ed about 1928, as far as Public j
Works Director Hercel Thomp-
son can learn, and was oone
with hand labor, wagons and
mules.
Getting heavy traffic, the
street was getting so broken up
tfiat patching helped only
briefly, he said.
Cars were still using the
street today, but were being
muted over to one side of hie
right of way.
County Commissioners Dave
Weber of Precinct 1 and Bon-
nie Bucnger of Precinct 4 are j
assisting the city with the pro-:
ject.
Last week the segment of,
Valley Street, broken up earlier;
for a pipe-laying project, got ‘
new paving from Maiu to
Courthouse Street. The section)
from Main to Morgan was re-j
paved earlier.
The segment from Courthouse'
to East Broadway will be paved;
later. !
A considerable segment of |
North Gonzales also will be re-

BADGERS—This block party in the hippie area near the University of Wisconsin,
Madison, looks peaceful enough as the school year gets underway. A year ago such
a gathering, without police permission, touched off three days of rioting, but this
one had bluecoat o k. Looking at the crowd, you wonder if any studying gets done.

CAIRO — The boiling Middle
East was in fresh turmoil to.
day in the wake of the death by
heart attack Monday night of
Egyptian President Gamal Ab-
del Nasser.
The Egyptian President was
52. He was a postal clerk’s son
who went into the army, led the
campaign that overturned
Egypt’s corrupt monarchy, and
then became the leading spokes-
man of the Arab world. For a
generation he was that violent
world's shining hero despite his
setbacks at th« hands of Israel.
His death came as he and
other Arab leaders were strug-
gling to deal with the backlash
of Jordan’s war, and amid
American-inspired efforts to
bring about an agreement to
end the state of war that has
existed in the Middle East for
more than 20 yean. President
Nixon, expressing shock at Nas-
ser's passing said: "This tragic
loss requires that ail nations,
and especially those in the Mid-
dle East, renew their efforts to
calm passions, reach for mutual
understanding and build a last-
ing peace."
Nixon at the time was in the
Mediterranean, almost at
Egypt’s doorstep. He canceled
6th Fleet firepower exercises
scheduled for Tuesday.
Cairo radio announced that
Anwar Sadat, Nasser's vice
president was becoming provi-
sional president.
Sadat's succession, an auto-
matic constitutional move, was
announced by Najib Husaein,
speaker of the Arab Socialist
Union, after a joint meeting at
this party and In the Cabinet.
Huasein said the provisional
presidency, in accord with the
constitution, will last 60 days.
During this period the party will
meet to elect a new president
by a two-third* majority.
Sadat had announced the
death, and then radio stations
