Former U S Attorneys Support Wiretap Oversight
Eight living former United States Attorneys for the Southern District of New York urged Senate Judiciary subcommittee members to permit wiretapping under court supervision. The endorsement, presented by New York District Attorney Frank Hogan, argued wiretaps are vital against organized crime and cited cases delaying boxing rackets and college basketball scandals. Hogan urged strengthening wiretap authority as essential to law enforcement success.

Alcoholics' Halfway House Proposed in Washington DC
A three year federal grant from the Vocational Rehabilitation Administration will fund a pilot halfway house in Washington DC to aid alcoholics. Initially caring for 300 skid row types, ten men at a time, the project aims to expand to 2000 beds nationwide if successful. Communities would cover one fourth of the cost, the federal government three fourths.

Social Security binds a costly path through 1987 rises
Since 1935 the program has expanded far beyond a low cost pension. Contributions reach 4.4 percent of earnings for workers and matching employers, funding 1.6 billion monthly to 14.7 million retirees, 5.3 million widows, 2 million disabled and dependents, with 19 million aged 65 plus eligible for Medicare. By 1987 rates rise to 5.65 percent. The question remains if future changes will raise the payments or expand benefits further. Those who die before 77 may not recover what they paid, and widows and orphans may lose out as well.

Moynihan Report and the Politics of Controversy Revisited
The piece surveys Moynihan's 1965 proposals on Negro family subsidies and the political reaction. It notes Payton’s critique, liberal opposition, and the Watts upheaval, arguing that race, policy, and violence shaped civil rights progress and internal liberal debate. The analysis frames Moynihan as a provocative, polarizing figure whose ideas challenged egalitarian rhetoric.

International Cop Needed to Sustain Global Peace Force
The author argues against limiting the UN to talk, urging a permanent international peace force funded by taxes. Citing the League of Nations failures and Cold War tensions, the piece criticizes Thant era actions and emphasizes power-based world order.
