The piece decries Paul Dixon's rude remarks about Ralph Nader to grocery group members and notes the uproar among Arab Americans and others. It argues that name calling reflects childish behavior and questions adults' reactions when such insults flare.
A congressional delegation led by Mark Russell will promote solar energy with an early year visit. The column notes energy use and references President Carter, speed limits, and a Washington moment highlighted by the Los Angeles Times Syndicate.
A Harris survey of 1,459 adults finds 65 percent doubt a total Arab Israeli settlement is possible while 66 percent say Arabs and Israelis should negotiate directly. Only 19 percent see a likely broad peace, with mixed optimism about Israel Egypt Jordan and Syria accords. The public remains wary of outside imposition and leans toward continued U.S. support for Israel.
A letter to the editor protests bank checking account fees that target low income customers unable to average 200 dollars monthly. The writer laments losing access to mainstream banking and suggests using postal money orders as a cheaper alternative, questioning progress and fairness.
A Cedar Rapids reader criticizes the Gazette for dropping Mrs or Miss on second mentions of a woman’s name and for style choices that hinder identification. The letter argues for consistent full identification and clearer reporting.
Congress watches as President Carter advances a plan to merge federal energy duties into a single cabinet level department. Proposals clash over which agencies join the new body and how regulatory powers would be centralized, with environmentalists wary of losing Interior Department control.
YES supporters argue current fragmented authority causes waste and conflicts. They say centralizing energy control would boost efficiency, clarify accountability, and remove partisan policy gridlocks during the energy crisis, with broad government and public favor for restructuring.
The Gazette argues a national energy plan is essential as cold winter impacts deepen regional paralysis. It credits President Carter’s forthcoming proposal and urges aggressive solar energy development, price ceiling removals, and diversified energy sources to prevent recurring hardship and spur production.
The proposal to centralize energy policy would create a large bureaucracy with uncertain efficiency gains. A single department could coordinate all federal energy efforts only if the entire government were merged. Critics warn about mineral leasing on public lands and the split over consolidating regulation.
