Content
This week on page 8, selected
articles from the Morgunblað are
featured.
There is a picture of Icelandic
women celebrating the 75th anni-
versary of their right to vote and
an article about an Icelandic street

on the 17th of June. Its organizers

that the black paint on the actors
would not run and the elephant would
not collapse. Their prayers were
answered and the performance was a
success.
