Freedom of the press and public attitudes toward crime
Time Inc chief Andrew Heist at Hofstra warns that a 55 percent share of Americans doubt the press can report harmful government actions. He cites Missouri study showing only 16 nations are free, flags fragility of press freedom, and Life magazine poll showing high fear of crime and low support for gun control. Citizens defend themselves with handguns amid perceived police inadequacy.

A philosophical critique of postwar policy contrasts two AP dispatches from Washington. One notes Congress expanding an anti poverty program to 5.3 billion dollars while the other forecasts deficits and easy money will hinder Nixon’s inflation goal this year. Economists foresee higher inflation in the next era, as politicians push humanitarian programs yet threaten the value of dollars. The piece argues that opponents seek controls and benefits without sacrificing freedom, creating a paradoxical demand for abundance amid inflation.

Thousands of Internal Revenue Service employees filed amended returns over the weekend hoping for refunds of 7 percent deducted for the Civil Service Retirement Fund. The NAIRE union plans a court test possibly expanding to a class action, potentially prompting billions in refunds for federal workers and possibly for private pension plans.
