Bluefield Daily Telegraph outlines Hugh Shott as Editor and Richard Wesley as Executive Editor, detailing roles and newsroom leadership structure within the publication.
A column condemns complex legal and bureaucratic language in public documents. It argues for plain English laws and simple forms, noting jury instructions are hard to understand and criticizing federal programs like food stamps for waste, abuse, and political misuse.
William L. Rusher argues Congress should adopt a general legislative veto over regulatory actions by federal agencies. He notes past steps, current bills Schmitt-Grassley and Levin-Boren, and a compromise allowing a 30 to 60 day veto by majority vote in both houses. He cites support from conservatives and opposition from the Justice Department, urging President Reagan to back the compromise.
CAPT. PAUL H. DAVIS U S Navy Ret discusses schooling policy, teacher unions, and shifting homework burdens. He recalls past norms where schools assigned and graded homework, with promotion tied to completion, and reflects on parental involvement and changes in student responsibility. He notes unions' power and doubts it improved education or teachers’ conditions.
The piece cites Dr. Karl Menninger on wart immunity and hypnosis experiments by Dr. Lewis Thomas at Cornell, noting wart resistance can vanish under directed thought. It shifts to critique modern schooling with no homework, urging parental enforcement and referencing John Kruettner’s The Boggle. It then covers federal veto power, CIA veteran ties to Billy Carter, and Libya arms dealings and odd assassinations talks.
