The piece argues that French insistence on an independent nuclear force strains Paris’s ties with the Anglo Saxon powers. It notes Britain’s evolving NATO stance and the U.K. bid to join the European Community, risking Atlantic links for a European future.
The piece blends headlines about JFK allegedly writing a book on Wall Street titled Somebody up there doesn't like me. It notes Liz Taylor finishing Cleopatra for $30 million and parodies disarmament talk while recalling Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone.
An editorial argues that the U S grain surplus should be shipped to Communist China to relieve hunger. It critiques Hong Kong refugee limits as insufficient and calls for a bilateral distribution system. The piece links food aid to humanitarian aims and American economic concerns about stockpiles.

In late April the Kennedy administration gained support for Medicare through Social Security as doctors in two small New Jersey communities formed a pact to deny treatment to elderly patients under Social Security. They cite federal aid for hospital construction and equipment and push a paradox that government can fund labs yet not cover aged health needs.
Readers urge the Gazette to publish a daily system to inform the public about Medicare similar to the Social Security tax information program. They defend editorial support for the King-Anderson bill and ask for guidance on how to write representatives. They also comment on license tax receipt proposals and praise a Buckhannon native known for blunt talk.
Walter Lippmann argues the stock market slide since mid March signals loss of confidence in Kennedy era growth. He blames fiscal policy limits and contrasts administrative with income budgets, warning stagnation may persist without bold tax cuts and policy shifts.
