The piece argues that public employee strikes rarely yield a clear win for unions and that leaders on both sides suffer. It cites Alameda County and San Francisco walkouts, noting limited public sympathy and political gains. Officials resist union pressure to protect tax rates, signaling diluted militant impact and lessons for 1976 bargaining.
The University of California at Davis medical school dean Dr. John C. Tupper concedes he intervened to enroll some students who did not meet admission standards. He labels them special interest or public relations cases while acknowledging the tension between equity and test scores. Regents urged vigilance to prevent misuse of dean discretionary power.
Washington observers note the public underestimates a billion dollars and inflation as a hidden tax persists. The piece argues Congress and governments must address tax amendments and local funds to curb inflation’s reach, linking concern over inflation to energy supply worries.
James Kilpatrick analyzes the 1976 Republican field with Ford and Reagan as the leading contenders. He notes Reagan's liabilities include an image of an ogre and inadequate presidential aura, while Ford struggles with Watergate fallout and campaign missteps. Carter's Democrats appear formidable but fraught with liabilities. Kilpatrick suggests Reagan may be the sturdier choice if the party seeks a ticket acceptable to Republicans and independents, with Kansas City looming as the choosing arena.
Will Rogers comments on the Olympic Village noting temporary buildings and the distribution of medals. He quips that those without medals will be heading home after the games conclude.
Ralph de Toledano argues the Democratic convention signals smugness and complacency. The piece compares Carter’s appeal and potential pitfalls to Dewey’s 1948 bid, noting Carter’s need to broaden support beyond phonetic base and the looming Republican challenge led by Reagan. The analysis warns that victory requires more than faith and morals rhetoric and highlights media antagonism toward Carter.

Schwarz tours seminars in the United States, argues against détente, and publishes books and newsletters to spread anti-Communist literature.
Paul Harvey argues for restoring respect and formal titles for public officials. He criticizes presidents and governors for casual familiarity and urges citizens to demand leaders who measure up with proper decorum, suggesting a Bicentennial reendowment of chiefs with formal titles.
