The Supreme Court again declines to clarify its stance on capital punishment, leaving New Yorks death penalty case unsettled. Nine justices issued separate opinions reflecting starkly divergent views from total opposition to execution to conditional acceptance, deepening national debate as states push to reinstate the penalty.
New York Times analysis describes Nixon as a brooding loner with a rigid staff cocoon. It argues upcoming sessions with Republican lawmakers will be staged, unprobing briefings not full disclosure, and unlikely to avert impeachment. The piece notes Haig's influence and past refusals to disclose nine tapes.
Anne Douglas says if you fail the blame goes to the star while success is shared with the director and producer. She would rather be the producer. The Journal notes its stance on free expression and that letters to the department must be signed with full address and not exceed 300 words.
A musing column lampoons campaign tactics as Van Promiades unseats Harold Waight in Ward 3 amid recount talk. It notes Waight’s long tenure, praises Promiades’ door knocking, and questions local political ambitions linking city jobs to future runs. It also references Veterans Day turnout, Boston Mayor Kevin White’s call for a new presidential election, and local officials mulling campaigns.
The piece posits Moscow will seek influence in China over the next years not by invasion but by backing secret supporters to install a pro Soviet regime in Peking. It likens this to sleeper agents around Yugoslavia after Tito's era and warns of risks if outsiders press too hard.
A mixed set of questions on language and etymology plus a lengthy geopolitical commentary. It discusses homographs, refu se and refuse as related roots, vicarious meaning, and filling forms, then shifts to analyses of Soviet Chinese tensions, leadership succession, and Brezhnev’s strategic posture with mentions of Lin Piao, Mao, Chou En-lai, Chiang Ching, and potential successors Li Teh-sheng Wang Hung-wen Chang Chunchiao and Yao Wen-yuan.
Brezhnev consolidates power amid Western discord over Watergate and Middle East tensions. He boosts credibility at home with a strong economy and assertive leadership, travels to Kiev and meets Tito, and signals a sustained East West accommodation despite Congress trade setbacks and Arab oil pressures.
