We Voted For It And Now The Highway Cuts Back
The piece argues governor Rockefeller’s highway department layoffs show political bias and harassment of Republican holdovers, recalling Arch Moore’s era. It contrasts past efficiency with present partisan staffing while warning of broader political misuse of state hiring. It also notes Connecticut coal to oil switches backfiring economically and environmentally.

The Fine Art Of Exaggeration In Global Debate
George F Will argues that extremism distorts truth and criticizes William Shawcross for misrepresenting Cambodia's history. Peter Rodman counters Shawcross in an article, accusing him of selective evidence, ignoring government bombing, and skewing causality linking U S actions to Cambodia's devastation and the ensuing bloodbath.

Budget-Cutters Arm For Battle
The Reagan budget cut plan hinges on speed, party discipline, and a coordinated push through Congress. Senate moves to wrap cuts into the fiscal 1982 budget resolution, with Baker potentially rallying Republicans, while House support depends on conservative Democrats and a grassroots campaign led by the National Tax Limitation Committee to mobilize anti tax and business groups.

Escaped Bus Rides Highlight Court Ordered School Change
Three white girls from Buckeye Junior High in Louisiana were ordered by a federal court to ride 14 miles daily to a predominantly black school in Alexandria. They refused, backed by a state judge, and the court prevailed. The girls then left public school for private schooling, part of a trend of many students leaving public schools. The piece links this to declines in public education and rising private religious schooling.
