The New York Times reports officers were tipped to a possible Vesco plot to obtain Libyan troop planes by bribing DNC Chairman John White and top White House officials. FBI records suggest a “Sandbox” scheme with payments, a note to the attorney general, and potential improprieties involving Billy Carter. The piece questions grand jury processes and calls for a unified probe to uncover the truth.

Expanding vocabulary is praised but trimming it is overlooked. The piece mocks overused terms and misused words like parameter irregardless and involved offering biting commentary on dictionary norms and linguistic fashions.
A letter campaign frames the pope's U S itinerary as political. Catholic bishops urged dialogue with President Carter on abortion. Readings target incumbent pro choice senators like Iowa's John Culver and Indiana's Birch Bayh as anti choice groups influence the Chicago leg.

This essay argues European dime novels of the 19th century, from Gustave Aimard to Karl May, crafted exaggerated West many Americans absorbed.
