Labor Secretary Raymond Donovan calls his own request extraordinary as he urges a non DOJ special prosecutor be appointed to probe alleged bribery involving a union official in 1977. The move echoes Watergate era practice and the 1978 Ethics in Government Act guiding such inquiries.
The piece argues for an outsider special prosecutor in the Donovan case to insulate the Justice Department from political influence. It credits Attorney General William French Smith but questions crony appointments and cites Nixon era outcomes to warn of reduced credibility if politics dominates.
The Rose Bowl bound Iowa Hawkeyes are rated No. 5 by ESPN computer rankings but sit in the 10s to 13 range by wire polls. The New York Times computer places Iowa at 14th, below Nebraska Michigan and UCLA, citing margin and opposition quality and recent results shaping the gap.
Jeffrey P. Berg, chairman of Cedar Rapids Regional PRIDE Inc outlines aims to mobilize parents against drug and alcohol use among youths. The group promotes education, model legislation, parent groups, a speaker bureau, a reference library, a newsletter, and calls to curb beer sales at rock concerts for underage attendees.
President Reagan promotes home care for a Cedar Rapids girl as a public relations gain while noting lingering Medicaid bureaucracy. The piece questions his administration's handling of red tape after a year in office and links the push to broader hospital care practices.
A New Year opinion argues Reagan aides push higher taxes before spending cuts take effect, urging a reversal of tax-reduction goals. It cautions against piecemeal tax tinkering, calls for cutting wasteful spending, and urges bold, coherent policy to spur growth.
The piece argues Reagan wisely favors limited actions over saber rattling regarding Poland's martial law. It notes gradual pressure with food aid and sanctions as a tactic, balancing allied hesitation and the risk of escalation. It highlights Jaruzelski's cautious reforms, Solidarity restraint, and negotiations with the Soviet Union as central to policy.
