A 1977 column reflects on Earth's finite resources, urging imaginative action to meet energy needs. It highlights tidal, wind, and solar research in Maine, potential nuclear use, and shifts in values and urban living. The piece also notes the column's 15th anniversary and jests about aging and public life.
The narrator muses on a longtime political columnist celebrating a 15th birthday of public appearances while poking fun at the column’s pomp and aging prose. The piece riffs on writing code, perpetual last word, and a weary media culture.
The column grows older and shifts from brave denial of confusing facts to a wiser art of making sense by avoiding inconvenient truths. Readers crave certainty, while the column once plagiarized clever phrases and claimed everything is the result of everything else.
Ferdinand L Mayer elevated from counselor at the U S Embassy in Berlin to minister of Haiti as part of a broader State Department reorganization. Also, Chief Louis J Aubuchon leaves for Washington to take FBI crime prevention courses on Hoover’s invitation. Farmers Public Market opens at Major Brown lot for Saturday sales through Thanksgiving.
Ronald Reagan in The New Republic critiques President Carter by calling his pledge to uphold human rights a gimmick that pleases all yet offends none.
