The Iowa House adds long winded phrasing to the Equal Rights Amendment debating equality by nature. Critics say the clause misstates gender equality and risks wrecking ERA passage this session. Senate revision may be required for any chance of passage this year.

The Harris Survey of 1,259 adults finds President Carter at 49-47 percent negative, with Vice President Mondale at 39-36 percent negative and 25 percent undecided.

A narrator laments the burden of life for Americans decades ago, noting youths face tension and obstacles. He recalls a wheelchair bound elderly woman who asks to be clubbed to death and a German soldier with missing limbs, finding in their stories a stark look at fate and endurance.

A Washington Star column attacks Secretary of Commerce Juanita Kreps for proposing a voluntary Corporate Social Performance Index.
