Route 202 Parkway bridge to be named in honor of Montgomery Township's outgoing police chief

Mail began to trickle back into mailboxes around the country as more than 50,000 postal workers ended a two-week strike. The government announced a plan to reduce troop level in Vietnam by 50 percent by the end of 1971. And in a little town about 12 miles north of Philadelphia, Richard J.

Brady will retire, having seen the police department he's led since 1982 almost quadruple in size as it entered the modern, technology-assisted era of law …
