The idea of using Nobel laureates and a wealthy California optometrist Robert K. Graham to influence human reproduction raises fears of a corrupt future for humanity. Calls for broader public scrutiny accompany discussion of the controversial program.
The piece dissents from negative reactions to a human sperm bank proposal, arguing that eugenic methods differ radically from Nazi aims. It calls for solid evidence on selective breeding’s effectiveness in humans, noting uncertainties about outcomes and urging careful, controlled studies before judgment.
The piece argues that despite criticism, the food stamp program has delivered broad help, reducing malnutrition among low income households. It notes enrollment could reach 21.3 million in 1981 and that benefits follow the thrifty food plan, with abuse mainly from theft rather than fraud. It also mentions savings in school lunches and child support crackdowns amid rising costs.

The plan seeks higher parental interest, closer to private rates, saving about 5 billion over five years, while extending to banks subsidies for defaults and pressuring funding cuts amid rising costs and looming expirations.
White House aides acknowledge political damage from the United Nations vote on Israel but say Carter remains unlikely to lose the Democratic nomination. They expect gains in upcoming primaries, while critics question his competence and his handling of the crisis. Senators Javits and others press for hearings to settle the issue, hoping Cyrus Vance can restore credibility with lawmakers.
Debate over state law banning using funds for schooling children of illegal immigrants. Suits in 17 Texas districts challenge the ban before U.S. District Judge Woodrow Seale in Houston.
