Railroads seek U.S. Treasury aid over costs and profits
Paul Harvey notes that railroads claim expenses attributed to passenger service are inflated by shared costs with freight. A study of eight major lines shows $116 million of avoidable expenses linked to passenger trains, yet the eight lines posted a 1968 deficit near $485 million. He argues railroads need federal help to upgrade and sustain passenger service, comparing to airline subsidies and rising demand for safer, more predictable transport.

Scotland a beacon on crime trends in 1968 report
Russell Kirk notes global rise in crime and fear but highlights Scotland as an exception. He cites FBI data showing a 1.5 percent drop in offenses in 1968 from 1967, with fewer accusations of police brutality and bribery, suggesting Scotland's approach may offer lessons for American criminologists.
Moratorium impact and Scotland crime contrasts in 1968

It cites swift Scottish trials, low gun use by police, and safety claims, then moves to Washington coverage of a peace moratorium and a street survey showing most marchers were civilians shopping or running errands.
