U.S. PRESIDENTIAL FIRST WAS ON THIS DAY
The Moscow Summit of 1972 was a meeting between President
Richard M. Nixon (right) of the United States and General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It
was held May 22–30, 1972. It featured the signing of the Anti-
Ballistic Missile Treaty(below) the first Strategic Arms Limitation
Treaty and the U.S.–Soviet Incidents at Sea agreement.
The summit is considered one of the hallmarks of the détente at
the time between the two Cold War antagonists.
GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN JAIL
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The Portland City Council has approved
Mayor Ted Wheeler’s revised public camping ordinance.
Under the new ordinance, unhoused people who refuse access
to reasonable, alternate shelter may face up to a $100 fine and/
or up to seven days in jail.
The ordinance was passed on an emergency basis so it takes
effect immediately, but the mayor says it could take several
weeks before it’s enforced. (THEN AGAIN, MAYBE NEVER)
