The page presents a range of editorial and political opinions with editorials by Hugh Shot and contributions from Editor Richard Wesley. It notes that aside from the directly following column, the opinions do not necessarily reflect the newspaper’s views.
A fragmentary mix discusses a hypothetical prayer for rain, a $46 612 yearly prison doctor post at West Virginia State Penitentiary with limited hours, and a broad view on the US strategic stockpile of minerals. It notes chromium's role, foreign sources, and calls for stockpile investment amid global uncertainty.
Washington outline shows M Stanton Evans backing repeal of the Davis Bacon Act. GAO reports wage distortions with federal prevailing rates, highlighting $8.75 an hour on a Tennessee project and widespread misset wages. Senators Hatch and Hagedorn sponsor bills to void the act while reforms on related provisions loom.
The piece contrasts Princeton’s former strict honor system with a modern lapse where a Daily Princetonian poll shows 4 percent of students admitting cheating and 40 percent unwilling to report peers. It notes 15 to 20 percent may have cheated per indications, while President Bowen defends the human condition. It also contends Carter’s pay reform aims to cut inflation by trimming federal outlays, despite party backlash.
In San Antonio industry pays comparatively low wages yet 30,000 federal workers add about 500 million dollars yearly to the local economy. Merchants fear government wage restraint could hurt business even as Carter pushes to align public payrolls with private sector wages. The narrative notes political optics and D C constraints on lawmakers shaping the issue.
The article reports CIA concerns over South Korea under Park Chung Hee considering nuclear options if U S protection wanes, plus State Department disclaimers about assurances not to build an arsenal. It contrasts this with NEH budget tricks using one year and no year funds to mask savings, a legal but questioned practice that preserves funds for more spending.
Cartoon caption notes Carter may have abdicated world economic leadership while the speaker asserts continuing influence. The piece uses a humorous take on global power dynamics with political satire.
