The Gazette endorses Richard Nixon for a second term on Nov. 7, noting his foreign policy gains, economic moves, and steady leadership while acknowledging McGovern's planning and dedication but citing organizational flaws and doubts about command capacity.
James Reston analyzes Nixon’s Atlanta visit as a paradoxical blend of moral rhetoric and political maneuvering. The piece argues his calls for virtue coexist with Watergate and fundraising troubles, predicting short term gains but long term difficulty in unifying and governing.
George McGovern plans to run on a pledge linked to Richard Nixon. Full page ads appeared on the fourth anniversary of Nixon's peace pledge in Santa Monica. The Nixon promise to ban lewd mail to children drew Times coverage and political jabs amid protester heckling.
A Washington Star analysis argues McGovern misreads Nixons 1968 pledge to end suffering in Vietnam. It questions literal peace claims, cites Lincoln and FDR precedents, and warns McGoverns stance could undermine credibility and future peace efforts.
In Manhattan the LICE raided four skin-flick theaters last month not by orders or warrants, but due to tourist complaints about “crummy joints” on Broadway. All four reopened within hours, and publicity boosted patronage as tourists funded the screenings at about $3 per showing.
A letter to the editor critiques a Republican candidate for clerk of district court over a press release about Linn county microfilming. It lists facts on pre 1965 film quality, admissibility issues, 15,000 dollars invested, the recorder’s office as microfilm center, staff and capacity, and praises the county’s modern system while inviting input and a tour of the microfilm department.
The Gazette article denounces the Russia wheat crisis as proof of mediocrity under collective ideology. It cites a Kazakhstan procurement minister blaming the railroad ministry for 10 000 promised cars, and argues officials shift blame rather than reform. It warns capitalism as a necessary alternative to prevent further decline.
System protection efforts emerge as magnets, locks, and canister shields guard tapes. Incidents reveal three sample computer crimes and a rising cost of nearly 500 million dollars yearly while lawmakers draft a comprehensive code and inspectors note ongoing threats from saboteurs and radicals.
A reflective column explores male vanity and fear of aging framed by lines about baldness and a diminishing chin. The piece ponders whether attraction is tied to wealth and societal judgments, concluding with a wry note on readiness money and charm.
