The piece argues for harsher, more effective punishment for vandals, noting vandalism targets include the Aiken Public Library, several churches, and the Jewish Synagogue. It urges criminal justice experts to propose alternatives to juvenile exemptions and supports public exposure as a deterrent.
A satirical piece argues the government shields citizens from health hazards and dangers, yet fails to protect against a greater threat: government itself. It critiques spending and protectionist rhetoric as excessive while urging awareness of political safeguards.
A columnist scrutinizes the $47 million Federal Home Loan Bank Board headquarters and compares it to Congress budget choices. The piece cites high project costs, a public relations push, and costly subcontracting while noting Congress itself funds and oversees such spending. It also recalls the Rayburn House Office Building and a proposed $60 million Capitol extension as examples of inflated costs.
The piece argues Federal Judges Frank M. Johnson and William H. Webster, Carter’s FBI director choices, share a moderates’ profile with civil rights sympathy and law-and-order toughness. It urges dropping the Kearney case to restore bureau morale and public confidence.
A critique of overreliance on statistics from public opinion polls and economic reports. It notes conflicting GAO and senator conclusions on oil and coal, cites a Stanford study on near full employment, and explains the Bureau of Labor Statistics plan to publish two consumer price indices to improve accuracy while warning digits can mislead.
Editor notes Warren T. Brookes argues against labeling opposition to spending as negative and attacks liberal labels. He cites deficits inflation regulation health care education welfare debt and energy policy as failures. Jefferson is quoted on government purpose and individual security.
