Honey funded pies and baked goods while keeping the grandfather lively in community life.

Know-nothing Congress rails at Carter foreign policy
A critical House debate over the Carter administration’s approach to foreign aid reveals deep partisan fault lines. The speaker and members lament demagoguery, oppose lending to disfavored nations, and argue the House represents the people as the country drifts from postwar consensus. The piece contrasts past anti-communist zeal with current liberal concessions, accusing the House of regressing to the fifteenth century in mindset.
