Housing needs close study in Biddeford area
The Journal argues Biddeford faces long standing substandard housing with limited action from landlords. A temporary MSHA rent subsidy pilot matches eligible families to existing units in Biddeford Saco and Old Orchard Beach, aiding displaced tenants while landlords fill units at fair market rents. A public hearing in January should shape a multilateral long term housing plan.

Kissinger shifts stance as Latin America seeks balance
In a Paris dinner reminiscence, Henry Kissinger faces Latin America’s discontent with U.S. policy in the 1960s. He backs a Panama Canal sovereignty treaty and a thaw with Cuba, while Latin nations push for equality, non intervention, and varied relations with Washington. Brazil’s arms trade and nuclear reactor bids strain ties, reflecting a broader shift away from US dominance toward a more multipolar regional order.

Who's the upper dog in labor strikes and firemen
Paul Harvey argues that strikes by firemen threaten public safety and cost society, framing strikes as harms when they jeopardize essential services. He questions legal protections for strikes that affect public welfare and contends workers must not abandon duties for pay, labeling money as a corrupting motive in the profession. He challenges the notion of an upper dog in labor conflicts and asserts job fidelity over wage pressure.
