Hughes and the law myth critics and Hughes influence
Senator Weicker campaigns on the idea no one is above the law. Hank Greenspun argues Howard Hughes evaded court and federal scrutiny for over 25 years, wielding money to influence policy and public life. A Scripps-Howard review links Hughes to $6 billion in federal spending, while a dummy company protected his name from media exposure.

No Debate Butz and the White House Tone Shift
A clipped Washington post debate wrap notes Ford aide scolding for focusing on side issues like Earl Butz’s slur and Carter’s Playboy interview. It argues policy differences are minor, favors detente with the Soviet Union, and casts Ford and Carter as not world shakers, leaving voters to flip a coin. The piece mocks the candidates’ rhetoric on Taiwan, Panama, and the Canal while praising Anwar and Bubwa for dramatic, if controversial, exchanges.
