Discussion centers on a taped August 31 meeting called by Circuit Judge Rodney A Peeples in Aiken County. Requests for broadcast and publication followed leaks and numerous references to the tapes.
The Aiken Standard reports on a taped session involving Judge Peeples, Justice Lewis, and council members amid debates over the Freedom of Information Act. The court transcript, prepared in the South Carolina Supreme Court, may settle public doubts as officials defend ethics and political activity.
The account recalls Patrick Ferguson at King's Mountain on October six 1780 as his reinforcements lagged. He chose a narrow 600 yard long camping shelf on the mountain with limited provisions and little defensive fortification awaiting furloughed troops and aid.
In Indiana Richard Lugar, two term mayor, is viewed as likely to replace Sen. Vance Hartke.

The piece compares Ford and Carter campaigns as boring and cautious with little spectacle. Ford is pitched as steady and safe, aiming to hold key states and widen his appeal, while Carter presses a cautious edge to erode the president’s competence image. Norman Miller provides the analysis.
