Holmes Alexander argues that with troops in Asia and Europe the United States faces two front pressures. He invokes Nixon and Mansfield doctrines as causes of retreat, predicts a broad pullback abroad, and urges bipartisan restraint and nuclear reliance as a response to mounting national insolvency. He frames 1971 as a pivotal turning point in American imperial reach.

Sound Advice From Dr Shenfield on American Confidence
The Indianapolis News reports English economist Dr Arthur Shenfield speaking at the Indianapolis Forum. He argues Americans should stop belittling themselves, regain self confidence, and recognize opportunity remains: despite liberal views, material gains by Black Americans and growth in public office show progress within a free enterprise framework. He criticizes pollution campaigns, welfare, urban renewal, and minimum wage laws as not solving core issues, urging private enterprise aided welfare as the path forward.
