News & Notes
Variety defines this edition of “News & Notes.” The section highlights numerous ceremonies, celebrations, and exhibitions to mark the ongoing centennial observation of Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency. It also covers the Fourth of July celebration in Oyster Bay, New York, the dedication of a plaque commemorating the attempt on Roosevelt’s life in October 1912 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the 50th anniversary of the opening of Sagamore Hill to the public. “News & Notes” also notes the death of Doris Albert Budner, the struggles of a Rough Rider museum in New Mexico, and the publication of an article by the Cato Institute that criticizes Roosevelt.
The section contains three text boxes with quotations and excerpts from Roosevelt’s writings, and it is supplemented by four photographs, including two of humorist Mo Rocca at Sagamore Hill.
