The column set reflects editorial and political opinions distinct from the newspaper's stance except for the column directly below. It signals diverse commentary while clarifying the paper’s position on the matter.
Editorial argues the governor's 29 million a year tax plan targets consumers, not oil firms, since oil sales will bear the tax and pass costs to buyers. Also notes the Postal Service will implement ZIP plus four nationwide July 29 to speed delivery and save up to 450 million annually, a voluntary shift with no mandatory requirement.
The piece argues about the Coalition for Better Television pressuring advertisers through boycotts over sexual and violent content. It notes Procter & Gamble’s early program withdrawals, networks’ alarm, and the Moral Majority backing, while weighing risks to free expression and possible censorship in a pluralistic society.
M Stanton Evans reports that after repeated defeats in Africa the United States faces a chance to curb Soviet influence in Angola. The MPLA regime, backed by 28,000 Cuban troops and Cuba bayonets, holds Luanda but struggles to control the countryside. UNITA, led by Jonas Savimbi, continues a long fight for independence.
The article notes Savimbi controls large southern Angola and commands about 15,000 volunteers with growing support among locals. It details UNITA's guerrilla actions against the Benguela railroad, perceived popularity, and the strategic impact of Soviet Cuban aid to the MPLA. It cites observers like Hempstrane and de Borchgrave and references coverage in Soldier of Fortune, Reader's Digest, Newsweek, and The New Republic.
Paul Harvey argues about the existence and influence of a moral majority in U S culture. The Supreme Court and new political currents shape how morality is legislated through community standards while Century Three Foundation and pollster George Gallup explore whether the silent majority is indeed larger than vocal minorities.
Art Melvin leads Century Three workshops to create a living, shared set of community beliefs. Attendees from diverse backgrounds discuss what is morally right, with the aim of informing local lawmakers while avoiding government imposition on religion. The piece argues deliberation helps distinguish what we want to do from what we ought to do.
Barbara Boghetich and her late husband invested 9500 in a ZIP ice cream franchise in Wheaton Illinois with SBA loan backing. Problems surfaced after opening including a site rejected earlier and a court fight over development plans. The SBA approved the loan despite prior defaults and required heavy collateral. The venture failed after about two years, costing them their home. GAO and a House subcommittee investigate SBA franchise loan practices and risk sharing with franchisors.
