Critics question enforcement, while supporters foresee broad shifts: military service, alimony, child custody, paternal leave, and gender-specific statutes may be challenged or altered after ratification.
The piece explains that the dollar has declined in value and defines inflation as getting more money with less worth. It uses soup as a metaphor, noting adding water weakens both soup and money and urging practical money sense for families.
Holmes Alexander reports that Connally could anchor a national ticket for either party, with Eisenhower-era vitality and a standout public persona. The piece weighs Connally against Wallace, Muskie, Humphrey, and McGovern, noting Democratic and Republican shifts, and suggests a two-party possibility if Connally joins the ticket.
