A reflective note warns that excessive caution paralyzes progress. The author cites Ecclesiastes urging action despite uncertainty, suggesting restraint from perpetual hesitation and urging practical steps to pursue opportunities. The message encourages timely risk taking to achieve tangible outcomes.
A Washington analysis notes that the Reagan administration seeks to let the 1973 gasoline allocation authority expire. It argues deregulation will boost domestic oil and gas production and reduce foreign reliance, while acknowledging emergency powers remain for war or severe crises. The piece criticizes past rationing and urges Congress to end the allocation statute.
Buckley argues Reagan’s Europe focused neutron bomb stance improves deterrence as NATO contends with Soviet SS-20s. He compares past options, cites Haig’s advice, and notes European veto power over deployment, urging readiness and cautious deployment sequencing. He recalls Churchill and Whittaker Chambers to frame Western resolve and risks of a Soviet dominated Europe.
At the Atlantic City Governors Conference Reagan gains strong support from Republican chiefs while Democrats, facing re election or retirement, fail to unite a counter strategy. Governors like Bob Graham and Richard Riley acknowledge a shift away from big government as they weigh the economy’s trajectory and political risk.
Sadat asks US to open talks with the PLO and supports a separate Palestinian nation for peace, while Israel and Begin oppose talks and a Palestinian homeland. Once tiny in 1965, the PLO now unites eight guerrilla groups under Yasser Arafat with broad, de facto recognition as representatives of 4.4 million Arabs.
Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times reports on Palestinians in Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan and beyond. He portrays the PLO delegates as middle aged, middle class and middle weighted, bound by a common hate of Israel. The piece notes oil money financing the movement and contrasts Arab attitudes with Sadat's call for listening. An American diplomat says peace with them may be impossible and yet essential.
The piece argues the FDR Memorial Commission wastes taxpayer money with little results, noting $500,000 spent over 26 years and more, while a private memorial exists. It covers Glickman’s failed bid to abolish the commission, House votes, and reactions from lawmakers. It also highlights readers’ Hall of Heroes nominations.
