Analysts call for clearer formats in presidential debates to boost viewer understanding. They argue reforms should curb detached pontificating and ensure direct rebuttals, with 30 second to one minute responses to improve illumination for the public.
The tentative Deere and Co. agreement with 27,000 UAW members includes 1,620 hours of paid time off over three years for a 30 year veteran, about 66 days per year, with 15 year veterans receiving 42 days. Base pay adds 36 cents hourly atop $7.55, plus fringe benefits including a family care vision program. The deal aims to shift work hours and create jobs, but workers continue to strike amid public debate over pay not to work.
James Reston argues voters rather than press or experts shape the outcome in a debate dominated by gaffes and secondary issues. He notes limited polling from Allentown readers, The Ford Carter exchange, and concerns about appearances and regional biases.
The analysis notes Carter’s stronger showing on foreign policy and human rights ideas, his calm attack stance against Ford, Carter’s lively performance over Ford’s wooden delivery, and a potential shift toward Carter ahead of the November election. Ford’s gaffe on Soviet domination and the 90 minute format favoring Carter are highlighted.
In San Francisco a debate misstep by President Ford on Poland shaded public opinion as Carter pressed a hard line on Helsinki and defense. Ford’s aides defended the slip while a White House aide faulted briefing staff, spotlighting a faltering image amid the campaign.
A reader argues day care choices must focus on child welfare and parental rights, questioning reliance on mothers and advocating parental control. The letter also critiques televised violence as a driver of crime, urging stronger regulation by OSHA EPA and CPSC, and ends with a personal note about a burglary and remorse for the thief.
