Column Comment
1. The Auckland Star published a letter that commented on the inadequacy of its coverage of a civil rights demonstration in Myers Park. It failed to recognise the peaceful nature with more than 1000 people listening to music and speeches before marching down Queen Street. The New Zealand Herald did not report the event. -- 2. Maybe there should be a booby prize for the worst headline of the week--and in the Dunedin Evening Star the headline--U Thant calls for end to Chinese aggression--but this does not reflect the story.
A weekly review of the press in New Zealand from the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC). Theme is Miles Davis, Milestones
