Despite a $249 billion military restoration appropriation, lawmakers may avoid tough talks on spending versus revenue while the economy rises and an election looms. If deficits persist, the Fed may monetize the gap.
An editorial urges expanding Soviet studies in the United States to counter Soviet influence. It compares U S and Soviet research institutes, endorses the 1983 Soviet East European Research Act, and calls for funding. It criticizes Congress for not reducing deficits and urges voters to press representatives on spending and pay raises.
The Energy Research Foundation plans to mobilize public opposition to South Carolina Electric & Gas Company proposed one third rate increase. It is known for anti nuclear campaigns and aims to raise nuclear energy costs as a tactic. The public is urged to scrutinize the petition and consider Virgil’s warning about Greeks bearing gifts.
A reviewer argues the film The Day After misfires by appealing to emotion over rational policy. It may trigger public hysteria rather than informed disarmament, leaving the central question of how to reduce arms unsolved.
Opinions critique Reagan era secrecy and press coverage of Grenada invasion while noting liberal stances on abortion and capital punishment. Columns joke about politicians and a divorce attorney anecdote, with light humor on religious quips and wordplay.
