FAREWELL “BB”: Princeton Public Library staff wave goodbye to retiring Manager of Lending Services Barbara Bradsell who has stepped down after 41 years of service. |
In 1967 the top bestsellers in fiction included Elia Kazan’s The Arrangement; William Styron’s The Confessions of Nat Turner; The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, and Topaz, by Leon Uris. William Manchester’s Death of a President headed the non-fiction list, followed by Misery is a Blind Date, by Johnny Carson; Eric Berne’s Games People Play, and Rod McKeun’s Stanyan Street and Other Sorrows. In another book-related event that year Barbara Bradsell was hired to do clerical work in the circulation department of the Princeton Public Library.
A three-part series on “The Health Enterprise in New Jersey,” sponsored by the Policy Research Institute for the Region and Princeton University’s Molecular Biology Department, began last week with a talk by University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) President William F. Owen, Jr. His topic was “The State of Health Care in New Jersey and the Role of the Public Medical University.”
