Doubts on SALT II Verification Faced by Critics
The article argues that new surveillance advances could verify SALT II terms, reducing fears of Soviet cheating. It notes advances in space photography able to identify tiny ground objects from space, infrared sensing for missiles, and Sigint satellites to compensate for Iran and U-2 gaps. By 1983 a large antenna satellite may monitor Russian launches, making cheating harder and countering unverifiability claims.

Ford May Yet Enter 1980 Race If Reagan Falls Short
Syndicated columnist Smith Hempstone surveys Gerald Ford as a possible Republican candidate in 1980. Ford, a 66 year old golfing grandfather, could run if Reagan falters, with polls showing him close to Reagan and ahead of Carter or Kennedy in separate matchups.

Eyeesores in Oak Hill push to tear down homes

The author argues residents suffer poverty with monthly incomes under 300 dollars, high utility costs, and limited welfare, urging readers to consider the people behind the hovels and support aid rather than demolition.
What price college
College enrollment rose through the 1950s to 1975 but declined in 1976 and 1977, with projections of further drops as the college-age population shrinks by 18 percent from 1980 to 1990. Despite potential recovery through adult and nondegree students, many admissions officials fear enrollment will fall without a strong job market and rising reasonable value of a degree amid higher costs.
