The AJCommittee re- ported that the school board of the Island Trees district, which had taken the action, had said that the books involved con- tained "material which is offensive to Christians, Jews, blacks, and Ameri- cans in general." Among the volumes which were ordered re- moved were Bernard Malamud's "The Fixer," Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five," and "Best Short Stories by Negro Writers," edited by Langston Hughes. - What's more, you fly in two-by-two comfort on our Wide-RideRL-1011 rfriStars —we have the only TriStars on any airline to Ft.Lauderdale and Tampa/St.Pete.
