The editorial condemns Dick Clark for seeking to create a new staff position, the assistant to the president, to control BART payroll and leverage political power. It notes resistance from Director Robert Allen and John Glenn, questions about loyalties, and compares Clark to old machine politics, warning of further self serving moves.
Brando’s California land gift to Native recipients carries a $318,000 mortgage. Brando prepaid much of the loan’s interest, and his attorney vows arrangements will cover payments before transfer. The move prompts caution about ownership and sincerity, as recipients weigh the offer.
James Kilpatrick argues against abandoning U S control of the Panama Canal. He cites 1903 treaty rights, canal strategic value, and Panama's Torrijos leadership, warning that conceding jurisdiction risks nationalization and appeasement. He recalls past treaty amendments and urges strong U S stance.
Will Rogers comments that the departing year humbled the nation and exposed overconfidence in material civilization. He suggests blessings from other nations justified but now proves temporary, blaming not Republicans or Russia but the Lord for a corrective pause. The quip closes with comedic asides and publication notes.
Political columnist M Stanton Evans argues inflation and recession share a root: government intervention. He cites the 60 percent money-supply expansion from 1967 to 1974, regulatory burdens, and high capital taxes as drivers of misinvestment, productivity decline, and rising prices, leading to a productivity crisis.
A column mocks the overuse of the term people arguing it dilutes meaning. It cites examples from race and class language, notes Barbra Streisand’s phrasing, and critiques programs labeled as people oriented while highlighting who counts as people and who is excluded. The piece ends with a reference to a 1974 grain harvest tied to socialist enthusiasm.
Rep. Les Aspin cites Pentagon data showing 1974 honored discharges at 88.8 percent, the lowest in 25 years, arguing fewer volunteers will join a system that penalizes poor conduct. He warns many avoid service after learning they risk lasting stigma of a bad discharge.
