Jenkin Lloyd Jones argues that America endures a paralysis of the good amid rising crime. He blames social neglect, urban decay, and permissive policy and calls for swift punishment to restore civic order and deter violence. He cites Mayors, newspapers, and studies to urge decisive action.
A William R. Burleigh column lauds Kid Thomas Valentine and his Preservation Hall jazz band aging gracefully at Evansville, arguing that society wastes older talent by retirement. It contrasts his 80 plus years with Edith Hamilton who wrote classics late in life and earned honors, urging a shift from youth worship to valuing aging achievers.
A lesson on defective phrasing in news writing. The piece notes errors like missing articles that distort meaning, cites examples such as a Navajo plane disappearing before landing and sentences starting with Cause of the crash was. It warns editors and writers to avoid awkward constructions and to keep language precise.
A brief opinion piece argues against scorning mediocrity and favors criticizing those who hinder progress by sticking to party lines and routine choices, comparing such behavior to a congressman who always orders roast duck hoping for a preferred meal.
