The Iowa Supreme Court split on whether to dissolve a injunction blocking enforcement of a 60 foot truck ban. It upheld a ban on 65 foot twin trailers for United Buckingham Freight Lines while two justices refused to dissolve a similar injunction for livestock trucks in Sioux City. The piece argues the court treated similar law differently and urges a legislative fix or clearer state policy.
The Nixon administration seeks a negotiated cease-fire rather than a decisive Israeli win in the Middle East war. Washington supplies Israel to enable a settlement, while Moscow and Washington prefer a stalemate and diplomatic settlement to avoid a full confrontation. Brezhnev and Nixon privately push for Israeli concessions and withdrawal from Suez as talks advance.
The piece argues for deadlines in the vice presidential succession amendment to avoid future deadlocks. It supports Ford’s swift confirmation and calls for clear timelines for presidential nomination, congressional action, court role, and a possible nationwide election if the court fails to agree.
The piece argues the Middle East crisis undermines faith in the United Nations and urges strengthening through world law and public opinion. It highlights Grenville Clark and Louis B. Sohn, authors of World Peace Through World Law, advocating reform of the General Assembly and education to empower citizen influence.
Russell Baker lampoons the idea of adding ismo to titles for dictators and leaders. The piece riffs on Chiang Kai-shek Franco Papadopoulos Amin and Nixon among others, probing Nobel prizes, power, and absurd honorifics. It mocks the notion of glorified titles without direct calls for action.
In a letter to the editor, a reader cites Dr. Pottenger’s cat study comparing raw versus pasteurized milk. He argues raw milk yielded thriving cats and lush weed growth, while pasteurized milk produced poorer results and limited bean growth, and questions restrictions on raw milk despite safety concerns.
