A Fresh Approach To The Ayatollah And Hostages
William F Buckley discusses options as Inauguration Day nears and hostage negotiations stall. He argues for a hard line including returning hostages within two weeks, using World Court and Security Council leverage, potentially declaring war, confiscating Iranian assets, interning Iranian citizens, and recognizing an exile government to treat the detentions as a casus belli. He questions risks of provoking an alliance between Iran and the Soviet Union.

Social Security seen as poor investment for youth
Washington column argues that Social Security is a bad retirement investment for millions of young workers. It cites remarks by critics like Jodie Allen and studies from economists and SSA staff, contrasting guaranteed benefits with potential private savings growth. Scenarios show two 21-year-olds choosing private savings could amass nearly $900,000 or over $1 million more than Social Security by retirement in 2022.
