Editorial contrasts Ford administration's claim that bureaucratic agencies inflate costs and restrain business with Democrats' view that regulation defends consumers from predatory practices and monopolistic conduct. A reform agenda by lawmakers aims to rebalance oversight and accountability.
President Ford proposes Robert Wells, a Kansas broadcasting executive and former FCC member, as director of the White House Office of Telecommunications Policy. Critics say the choice exemplifies political appointments to regulatory matters and signals more industry influence over broadcasting, public TV, and cable disputes.

They warn that many youths age out of foster care and face uncertain futures in orphans’ homes or frequent placements.

He urges Harrington to urge greater support for perceived pro democracy allies.
