A reflective quotation from George Santayana on Columbus and discovery frames a historical meditation. Biblical verse from Leviticus 19 32 is cited, urging respect for elders and reverence for God as the text juxtaposes exploration with faith.
A critique of federal mismanagement including HUD fraud and Pentagon graft. The piece warns against $1.2 billion Trident submarine builds by Electric Boat/GD in Groton, noting channel and dock issues with a 242 mile dredging debate. It also mentions rising meat prices hurting fast-food chains and a postage stamp satire tied to rate hikes.
William F Buckley criticizes Washington bureaucracy and travel frustrations, recounting Amtrak delays and airline slowdowns while lampooning passenger trolley scuffles. He then weighs Anwar Sadat’s early bold moves toward Middle East peace, noting a shift as his optimism wanes and his smile fades.
Sadat curbs Egypt's freest political space, plebiscite pushes and harsher press control mark a new, disciplinarian turn. He warns foreign correspondents of expulsion for errors, signaling a return to authoritarianism while warning of war if peace talks falter. The West may see this as a setback for Mideast peace prospects. Meanwhile in the United States tribes from 25 nations organize a resource council modeled on OPEC to preserve energy wealth.
Washington scholars gathered to mark the 500th birth anniversary of Thomas More, the layman's saint. The piece weighs his life as a bridge between action and contemplation, notes his martyrdom for intellect, and cites Bolt's A Man for All Seasons. It questions whether modern reverence rests on conviction or sentiment.
State Department analysts say Moscow is puzzled by President Carter’s mixed signals on human rights and Western policy, warning a breakdown could be avoided only by pressing for a broad arms pact while pursuing better relations with the Soviet Union. They contrast Carter’s stance with Nixon and Ford and note Brzezinski’s private warning of deteriorating U S Soviet ties.
