The Washington Post editorial defends its ethics after Janet Cooke’s nearly total fabrication about an 8 year old heroin addict. Investigations by Toledo Blade and AP exposed omissions in Cooke’s records. The piece argues the public’s belief in such stories persists and warns against ignoring real drug issues among youth.
The article criticizes a U S nuclear submarine for not aiding a Japanese freighter after a collision near Sasebo citing a “hit and run” and possible drownings. It questions the sub's actions, weather visibility, and a late report while warning of strained U S Japan ties amid tariff talk and protectionist pressures in Europe.
A columnist questions President Reagan’s pardon of FBI officials Edward Miller and Mark Felt, arguing the jurors were correct in convicting them and that the pardon risks sanitizing lawbreaking. The piece notes Vietnam era precedents, accuses the pardon of political retaliation, and warns against undermining criminal justice standards.
Readers question why rebellion against oppressive Latin American governments is branded communist. They argue workers’ rights and religious groups advocate for dignity, while U S support for persecuting regimes undermines human rights. The note also critiques gun control discussions and thanks Alternative Services Inc. staff for job appeals.
Gift books reflect the giver’s tastes and foibles rather than self motivated purchases. The piece reviews The Dieter’s Guide to Weight Loss During Sex by Richard Smith and praises Cosmos by Carl Sagan for its scope and humbling view of humanity, then notes lighter trivia volumes and a harsh verdict on Super Trivia.
The writer critiques a collection of adult material as amusing but irrelevant erotica from a strict post Elizabethan era. He recalls the era's censorship, the lack of frank discussion on sex, and the mixed reception of three works Cosmos Trivia and The Dieter's Guide. He jokes about the erotic period and plans to write Dear Abby.
