The Education Act of 1972 is watered down after Senate and House actions. It delays court mandated busing until 1974 and allows districts to proceed if no direct court orders exist. President Nixon doubges its effectiveness and faces no veto, as the public leans against federal court meddling in desegregation, so busing proceeds.
Jean Wade argues that ecology concerns touch every business, even cosmetics and textiles. The piece notes consumer shifts toward natural remedies and the stubborn dominance of synthetic, hard to replace materials, warning that environmentalists may threaten the industry’s future.
Hanover sees George McGovern retooling his tax and income redistribution proposals after criticism of his figures. He softened lines by praising Mills’ plans, while a Wall Street Journal ad suggested more moderate positions. Once seen as a protest candidate, he became frontrunner, then dropped 15 points in ten days depending on Republican reactions.
Washington observers say Ed Muskie showed dignity and frustration at the National Press Club as he contemplates a possible political resurrection at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach. After early front runner status and multiple fourth places, Muskie’s image shifts from iron to irony amid a shifting 1960s political landscape.
A May initiative by House Democrats led by John Conyers Jr. to impeach President Nixon prompts analysis of impeachment limits and history. The piece contrasts impeachment limits with Muskie’s 1972 Democrat candidacy, noting party division and a potential convention shift toward a centrist stance.
The poem reflects on experience as the teacher of values through pain loss error and grief. It cites Romans 5 4 and argues that firsthand harm leads to personal growth and wisdom more than praise. It frames mistakes as essential lessons shaping character and future fame and renown.
A satire piece cites tax redistribution to the poor and elderly prompting a future cycle of dependency. It notes HEW Secretary Richardson pursuing prosecution for fraud over a New York City Medicaid card for Evelyn Lustig and her Great Dane Mason Lustig. Publicity spurred a policy change in November 1971 requiring face to face interviews, and Mason’s benefits continued with a second card.
Credit is lifeblood for industry and a gauge of national trust. The piece argues liberal consumer protection pushes up costs and restricts access, citing government influence as anti consumer. It notes low default rates in private credit and four percent default in a federal student loan program, underscoring held faith in promises.
