He mocks how hobby guides overwhelm beginners with grotesque disease lists, and suggests parents and couples be required to read on childhood diseases. The piece ends by noting one glance at such books might solve population concerns.
A Letter to The Banner critiques MAUHS for sustaining a split in unity after a 9 to 1 approval of the 1975 76 budget. The writer suggests the budget’s bare bones plan should have yielded near unanimous board and public backing, but warns of anticipated dissent. The piece comments on expected consensus and the resulting division within the district community.
A divided MAUHS Budget Committee publicly disclaims support as members at meetings and in print reject the budget. The majority voted overwhelmingly to defeat it. The writer urges that before the next budget presentation all parties agree on a budget they truly support and convey that backing.

He warns of long-term harms to future minds and the economy.
