The picture in the Nov. 11 newspaper about the new "Capote" movie had a picture of a car with a Kansas license tag on it. My recollection of tags in those days, they were new every year and they began with the number 1. If that's true, I'm surprised the city and county would have had 57,609 vehicles registered in 1959, which I believe is the year shown. Which of my presumed facts is incorrect?
