Editorial: Traffic Jam Solutions shapes future cities
A sweeping look at metropolitan mobility argues that freeways cannot solve congestion. San Francisco plans a regional rapid transit network, parking taxes, toll-free car pools, ferry revival, and a bus-first approach while Honolulu and Portland adopt rail and park-and-ride concepts to curb private car use and favor mass transit. The piece predicts cities will shift from car dominance to transit and pedestrians, reshaping urban life.

Muskie plans reverse mortgage program could reshape urban neighborhoods
Senator Muskie's banking task force proposes SAFE to buy elderly homeowners' houses while they keep residency and receive annuities. About 3 million would be eligible, 1.1 million homes owned by SAFE in five years. First-year net outflow $178 million, rising to $497 million by year six. Urban, ethnic neighborhoods would face highest sales and potential racial and economic mixing, drawing in planners and triggering backlash. The piece discusses urban village concepts and ethnic attachments as context.

Eliminate the unwanted and population policy debate
Russell Kirk argues against abortion on demand citing the Presidential Commission on Population Growth and the American Future. He questions Dr Westoff on a supposed 15 percent of babies born unwanted, contends societies would shrink if unwanted births were halted, and rejects killing the unborn as morally wrong even if it could reduce social burdens. He notes enduring beliefs that love overrides efficiency and highlights ethical considerations from Lincoln to Jesus.
