Alcohol health toll grows beyond tobacco says Paul Harvey
Paul Harvey cites U S officials and doctors to argue alcohol harms equal or greater than tobacco. He notes alcoholism kills 11 000 Americans yearly and drinking drives 800 000 crashes, 25 000 deaths, and drunk driving contributes to 60 percent of private plane crash landings. He criticizes U S Public Health Service and praises France and Britain for anti drinking efforts while urging a health conscious American revival. He links alcohol to riots and industry losses and reflects on Kennedy era fitness push.

Washington reader offers two ideas to end the Vietnam War and fix U S politics. He suggests secret Swiss bank accounts for South Vietnamese officials to provoke withdrawal and envisions George Wallace as a president who would jam Congress, potentially stalling new laws for years. He also riffs on running mates and Halloween misperceptions amid a miscellany of light notes.
