LEGAL NOTICE Planning Board TOWN OF NEEDHAM NOTICE OF HEARING

This fall, Dr Gary Hylander will be presenting a lecture series on the history of Vietnam. The series begins with an overview of French colonial rule throughout the 19th century to the end of World War II. The Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 marked the end of the French presence in Vietnam. With the onset of the Cold War, and the fear of Communist expansion throughout Southeast Asia, the United States became politically and militarily involved in Vietnam from the Eisenhower years to the end of the Ford presidency. The series will conclude with an examination of the current role of Vietnam in world affairs

This is the third of four lectures in the series, and is sponsored by the Library Foundation of Needham.

NOTICE OF MEETING - REVISED Commissioners of Trust Funds Date: November 20, 2019 Time: 4:30 PM Place: Great Plain Room, Town Hall

On November 23rd of 1849, in the heart of Boston, one of the city’s richest men simply vanished. Dr. George Parkman, a Brahmin who owned much of Boston’s West End, was last seen that afternoon visiting his alma mater, Harvard Medical School. Police scoured city tenements and the harbor, and offered hefty rewards as leads put the elusive Dr. Parkman at sea or hiding in Manhattan. But one Harvard janitor held a much darker suspicion: that their ruthless benefactor had never left the Medical School building alive.
His shocking discoveries in a chemistry professor’s laboratory engulfed America in one of its most infamous trials: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. John White Webster. A baffling case of red herrings, grave robbery, and dismemberment?of Harvard’s greatest doctors investigating one of their own, for a murder hidden in a building full of cadavers?it became a landmark case in the use of medical forensics and the meaning of reasonable doubt.
