The page contains diverse editorial and political columns. Excluding the column directly beneath, these pieces do not necessarily reflect the newspaper’s official stance.
A fragment recalls biblical scenes of treachery and violence. Joab seizes Amasa by the beard and strikes him amid betrayal, echoing themes of oath breaking and lethal power. The archaic phrasing evokes a distant precedent to Judas.
The column questions President Carter’s SALT II claims and its verifiability. It notes ceilings on missiles but warns both sides could still destroy each other and stresses the need to detect cheating. It also critiques his plan to remove Congress from federal pay decisions and argues the civil service’s political clout must be managed.
The piece argues that underlying MAD assumptions drive SALT talks, not merely warhead counts. It notes bipartisan distrust of defenses and civil protection programs, urging restraint on offensive and defensive forces to maintain a balanced deterrent and avoid destabilization.
Washington report notes Republicans avoid attacking or outlining energy proposals as Carter pushes decontrol amid soaring prices. Bush and Dole urge a national energy council while Connally and Reagan shift positions for a later date. Labor unions court with past aid and potential Kennedy alignments loom. A record 557 officials faced federal corruption indictments last year.
Paul Harvey rails that newsmen and newswomen are overreaching in pursuit of stories. Panax Corp sues for a million over eavesdropping at a Marquette board meeting. The piece cites legal penalties and calls for self discipline, with figures like Max Kampelman and Julian Goodman weighing in.
Washington columns illuminate secret cables and claims that Henry Kissinger advised the shah of Iran after leaving government and worked with the Rockefeller brothers to influence oil policy and prisoner actions. Aliases and embassy notes suggest Kissinger denied these charges while Iran’s ambassador Zahedi is reported to have sent top secret messages.
