Equal time rule fuels odd ruling on Paulsen bid
The FCC declares Pat Paulsen a bona fide candidate on the New Hampshire Republican primary ballot. Walt Cla ncy Productions plans a TV program with Paulsen and asks if stations must grant equal time to other candidates. The ruling says yes, boosting Paulsen's exposure but raising concerns that the requirement dilutes debate quality and unfairly pressures major candidates to address a joke candidacy.

Local control of California schools comes under fire in bills
A summary of proposed measures in the California Legislature targets local school control. Assembly Bill 66 would shift powers from county superintendents and boards to regional education units, effective July 1, 1974, limiting county roles to contracting for special education. Senate Bill 91 proposes state financing for community colleges with local control retained only as tax and funding shifts, while SB 83 mirrors CTA cost-sharing. Other bills, SB 97 would fund building for exceptional children with county loan repayment via a tax, and AR 157 would raise the opportunity school override from five to ten cents.

Isaiah Warnings Echo in a Puzzling Modern Rant
A dense, opinionated diatribe weaving biblical verses with 1972 American politics and social critique. It questions youth influence in elections, warns of instant gratification, cites a college poll on career aims, and references a White House murder case with a distrustful tone toward dissidents.
