The piece critiques Iran hostage talks stance and U S energy policy. It cites Behzad Nabavi’s sharp reactions and questions U S commitments while noting OPEC price shocks push toward alternative energy, conservation, and renewed Middle East demand for arms. It argues high energy prices may spur a long term recovery despite short term pain.
William F Buckley argues that Reagan faces a dilemma over freezing Iranian assets and avoiding interference. He recalls the 1968 Pueblo crisis, where Johnson used a scripted apology to secure hostages’ release, warning of the risks of punitive asset seizures and urging cautious policy grounded in national interest and international law.
A column argues free speech rights tempt extremism while urging tolerance and restraint. It then details Dr. April Sasaki’s Nepal trip ordeal, passport seizure for a $4,300 airlift bill, State Department denials, and whistleblower testimony, plus a note on fake degrees in academia and dismissals at Rutgers New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry.

In a candid interview, Laxalt describes his behind the scenes role in Reagan’s White House, his influence on policy and strategy, and the ongoing transition tensions.
