Cedar Rapids city projects run later than usual as two bridges and a widening on Kirkwood Boulevard proceed. City officials cite design work delays and federal requirements, plus favorable bids, but warn ice and frost could jeopardize autumn construction if winter arrives early.
John Durkin defeats Louis Wyman in New Hampshire for the U S Senate after months of inconclusive counts and renewed campaigning. Analysts say the result signals little about 1976 national mood, while Durkin’s win reflects Granite Staters preferring him over Wyman and a desire for change.
Unemployment near nine percent and 18 months of bad news push a high employee dissatisfaction index says James L. Hayes president of the American Management Assn. He argues that constructive channels for discontent boost productivity and cites a company contest that revealed desires for earlier start times and shorter lunches leading to happier workers and utility savings.
William F. Buckley Jr. lauds Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s U N stance as a rare reforming spark at the UN. He contrasts U S diplomacy with Third World dependency and cites a tense Meet the Press exchange with Paul Hoffman over U S policy and Tanzania’s Daily News critique.
A Cedar Rapids reader argues for phonics over whole word methods, praising sounding out letters and blending to form words. The letter criticizes "phony phonics" in teaching manuals and urges skilled phonics instruction for accurate reading development.
A reader accuses the paper of bias toward Jewish advertisers and labels it an Israeli Daily. The letter claims Cedar Rapids farmers face no federal export restraint interference and asserts the farmer must plow fence row to fence row without government involvement.
William V. Shannon argues that the Rayburn myth overstates the once formidable speaker’s power. He recalls Rayburn’s late years when he failed to control votes amid Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, while freshmen and reformers pressed for change and challenged entrenched committees.
The piece argues that freshmen Democrats are too few and varied to sway House decisions. It notes Carl Albert’s cautious leadership, contrasts him with Sam Rayburn, and explains reforms since six years prior. Democratic leadership and veteran chair demotions shape the ironies of Congress.
