An old proverb-like reflection cites Ecclesiastes 2:10 praising seeking pleasure in toil. It quotes Elbert Hubbard on finding happiness in work, warning that joy depends on how one values labor and effort.
The piece argues federal regulation imposes about 135 billion dollars in annual costs, burdening industry and taxpayers while noting wasteful regulatory practices. It then discusses Soviet chemical warfare capabilities, citing 1973 intelligence and claims of tactical superiority, followed by a casual note on inflation and Pan-American beef imports with a McDonald’s product joke.
The piece argues the liberal attack on J Edgar Hoover's legacy is muddled by sensationalism and past FBI misconduct. It notes Hoover ordered a 1966 stop to illegal taping and cites later questionable acts by subordinates. It contrasts Hoover's restraint with his notable dislike of Martin Luther King Jr and recalls Kennedy era surveillance and its fallout.
Adviser and Barry Bosworth stress two contracts as key to fighting inflation. Bosworth demands under 30 percent wage rise over three years, while Strauss avoids targets. The debate hinges on productivity and automation in railroads and postal services, with potential national impact if settlements exceed the target.
Donald F. Graff notes that taxes remain the dominant editorial topic as California’s vote ricochets across the states. Brookings Institution savant Richard P. Nathan argues that drastic property tax limits could reduce local control by pushing governments toward state and federal funds, increasing outside influence on local expenditures.
The piece weighs the tax funded budget shifts from property tax to levies, noting 1902 roots and 1976 decline to 30.8 percent, with a 3 percent under Proposition 13 proposed by Nathan. It also reports Atlantic City casino opening week grossing over 10 million, and hints IRS plans to collect delinquent child support as employment taxes, via Health, Education and Welfare oversight.
Eminent scientists dispute a claim of a healthy infant produced by cloning and address future possibilities. The report covers cloning techniques in mice, potential agricultural benefits, and early human protein synthesis from cloned DNA, with notes on biosafety at Fort Detrick and oversight by NIH.
Electrician Robert Reade warns about 16 year old girls weighing 115 pounds working in trenches and laying heavy conduits while noting most labor union leaders accept the inevitability of the shift. The new guidelines from the Labor Department aim to expand women's roles in construction.
