A thoughtful note echoes from scripture and Edward Bulwer-Lytton urging noble dreams to become prophetic. The quote links biblical visions to aspirational modern thought. It blends Old Testament prophecy with Victorian literary voice to inspire ambition and imagination.
The article argues for a federal debt limit of 358 billion or 285 billion by July 1, noting the current 330 billion debt. It warns that lowering the cap could halt bill payments and borrowing. Critics see the ceiling as unnecessary since it is routinely raised. It highlights 14 billion in annual interest, compares that to other agencies, and urges fiscal restraint to avoid collapse.
The editor notes Governor Hulett C. Smith defends state police against Arch W. Riley’s charge of lax gambling enforcement. The piece argues law is law and enforcement should follow, despite local resistance and liquor law loopholes. It ends with a quip about British designers selling Red Guard uniforms.
Art Buchwald describes a Soviet scheme to arm Israel covertly by routing weapons through Arab states. The plan allegedly allowed Israel to receive tanks missiles and more while appeasing Arab powers. The result was a double payment for the same gear as arms flowed to both sides.
Analysis argues Kosygin’s New York trip and UN address show a monolithic Soviet approach. It contends Moscow blocks U.S. coverage, labels Israel an aggressor, and demands 1948 boundaries to press Middle East gains while urging Vietnam withdrawal. The piece likens Soviet tactics to political theater and warns against concessions to blackmail.
Henry J. Taylor surveys Expo 67 Canada as a rising economic power with strong exports to Japan and 82 nations, notes Britain’s lagging R&D, Red China and East Europe trade via Hungary and Czechoslovakia, and discusses open city proposals for Jerusalem and other capitals. He cites Warsaw Warsaw.
A columnist outlines a six point peace blueprint for the Near East. Proposes internationalizing key waterways, reviving irrigation, digging a Mediterranean to Dead Sea canal, granting Jordan a corridor, solving refugee woes, and integrating Israeli Arabs. Calls for Western funding and Arab-Israeli cooperation to lift long standing mistrust.
Russell Kirk argues Israel must accept a settlement shaped by great powers. He calls for internationalizing the Suez Canal under UN oversight, a neutral canal zone, security forces, and Israel retaining Gaza and parts of central Palestine while Jordan regains east of the Nablus Jericho line with compensation. He predicts Soviet opposition but urges a durable frontier framework with international guarantees.
