The case centers on legal timing and whether such delegation is permissible or prudent for public policy.
The piece argues that human rights are not America’s export but a UN obligation rooted in the 1948 Universal Declaration. It notes the preamble of the UN charter and the universal duties of all members, while highlighting abstentions by Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Yemen, and the communist bloc. It asserts Carter’s stance aligns with international law, not eccentricity.

Dean Hite, 1612 A Avenue NW.
Cedar Rapids reader recounts near misses crossing Third Avenue and praises Judge James Donato’s commentary on pedestrian safety. She recalls opting to run during Walk signals and notes Kingston Hill’s supportive home-like setting for older residents.

A Harris survey of 1,517 adults finds a 90 cent price would push most to cut pleasure driving, while $1.35 would spur workers to switch to public transit or car pooling.

The piece argues Carter’s anti inflation strategy relies on voluntary business restraint and limited spending, while direct controls on health care costs stand out.
