It urges candidates to clearly state positions on growth, zoning, and the budget, warning that democracy suffers when voters stay away and candidates are chosen by party arousal rather than issue substance. It also defends gas station operators from claims of favoritism, arguing stations must balance customer loyalty with accessible service until federal fuel rules take effect.

The note cites vandalism accusations and criticizes bus passes smoking area closures hall passes and library restrictions while thanking Arlington Rescue Squad and hospital staff for aid after a December car accident.
Washington column by Tom Braden argues Vice President Ford abused impeachment talk against Justice Douglas, clashed with constitutional norms, and mischaracterized tape evidence.
