Carol Perkins: 1966- When Bass Weejuns were the rage A memory many 60s people remember - when most shoes needed to be "broken in" which worked on most inexpensive brands, but not Bass Weejuns! Click on headline for complete column. Scroll to end of column for links to read previous columns By Carol Perkins In 1966, Bass Weejuns were the rage among college students. Because they were very expensive, only the "money" kids could afford them. I was not a "money kid." I look back now and realize that they may not have had much money either, but they were wearing Weejuns and I wasn't and I wanted a pair. I would never have asked for the money to buy the Weejuns because back in those days keeping a student in college was expensive-more so than now because most scholarships were given to athletes. I never knew anyone going on an academic scholarship back then. I wouldn't have been a recipient anyway! Back to the shoes . . .

Tom Chaney: Down these mean streets Of Writers And Their Books: "Down these mean streets. . . ." Tom says Joseph Hansen has a deft pen for describing the landscape with special relevance to the plot.
