A pair of noted sayings about charity and giving: Ecclesiastes urges spreading aid widely with time, while a Lebanese author stresses that true generosity comes from giving of oneself rather than material possessions.
The president mounts an early campaign for a second term as 10 million new 18 to 21 year olds enter the electorate. Francis Dale chairs Citizens for the Reelection of the President while the RNC and White House mobilize funds and staff led by John Mitchell and H R Haldeman.
Frederick G. Dutton notes the rising number of first time voters in 1972 with over 25 million eligible, including 10 million aged 18 to 21. He argues youth turnout is unclear as many in the 18 to 21 group may not register or vote, reshaping political strategy for Nixon and Humphrey.
A group of eight international scientists publish in Experimentia Basel urging the scientific world to confront internal pollution from long term ingestion of chemicals in drugs and food additives. They warn that within a decade most people in developed nations will be on daily drug regimens and consuming more food additives unless the problem is recognized and tackled now.
The article argues that leaked Johnson era documents on Vietnam bombing plans overstate political motives. It notes U S strategy involved debates from 1964 to 1965 amid Soviet and Red Chinese aid to North Vietnam. It urges focusing on Soviet and Chinese actions rather than leaked reports.
A reflective piece recalls Plataea's ancient victory over Darius and Persia near Athens and links Greece's endurance through Nazi occupation, Cold War tensions, and the 1967 colonels upheaval to the United States NATO alliance and Soviet threats in the Mediterranean.
The House approved a two year extension of the Renegotiation Act with minor changes and the Senate is likely to follow. The move would empower the Renegotiation Board to review federal defense contractor profits, but critics argue exemptions dilute effectiveness and billions in contracts escape review. Rep. Brooks calls the program almost totally ineffective and suggests strengthening or replacing with an excess profits tax.

A historical reflection on the Black Panthers from 1966 Oakland origins to later Chicago confrontations.
