A Telegram opinion argues President Nixon attacks the private enterprise system by targeting the "middleman" in food supply. It contends the blame lies with government inflation and unions, not farmers, and urges Nixon to engage in markets rather than threaten those serving consumers.
A shift in view on tenure risks arises as 42 states retain protections for public school teachers while Florida Iowa and an Arizona committee consider abolishing or altering tenure. The issue mirrors a broader university debate on academic freedom with arguments citing protection from ideological purge and free inquiry, though the case for K through 12 schools remains weaker.
The piece argues tenure has protected underperforming teachers for 25 years amid shortages but now surplus enables a "clean house." It contends tenure fails against campus pressures from student radicals and critics, citing Rostow at MIT and broader threats to academic freedom as administrations waver and future reform seems unlikely.
In a chaotic presidential primary, candidates vie for limited press space and TV time. The piece imagines outlandish publicity ideas from a roller derby setup to a heart transplant episode to spark nationwide attention and sway voters.
A political figure pleads for a safer approach as NBC plans live coverage, a hotel stay is canceled, and a skydiving segment is arranged for a state fair. The senator worries about exposure and public image while ABC and a touring company push sensational staging for ratings.

The Mayflower, Pan American's historic Boeing 707, rests on the ramp under a cold sun, while the 747 looms nearby. Since its October 26, 1958 debut, Mayflower has logged vast miles, survived a 1968 hijacking, and adapted with 175 fresh engines and upgraded Pratt and Whitney turbofans, earning a lifetime of service without faltering.
A column dismisses White House and Republican scandals as opportunistic for political gain. It argues public memory fades before elections, notes Democratic flaws, contrasts George Wallace with Muskie, and cites journalist Richard Harris’s 1971 study on Nixon era probes as evidence of the ongoing scandal brew.
A critical piece cites alleged use of dummy committees to hide donations in 1960s campaigns. It points to George McGovern and Hubert Humphrey, naming leaders like Lew Wasserman and Jake Factor, and questions Muskie's Maine ties with Wahlsing. It ends urging readers to contact candidates about these charges.
