An editorial critiques the Committee for a National Trade Policy pamphlet urging freer world trade. It argues true free trade means no regulations or subsidies, while the declaration supports fair rules and selective tariffs, questioning who sets terms and who bears costs, and warning that subsidies undermine real free trade.
A critical look at George Wallace as a political chameleon who claims populist and conservative stances simultaneously. The piece notes Wallace has cleaned up his act and avoids harsh rhetoric, yet remains vocal about opponents McGovern Muskie and Humphrey. It contrasts presidential power rhetoric with Congress and cites Truman’s attacks on the 71st Congress as a parallel.
A brief, quip like column ethicizes daily behavior warning against gossip and meddling. The piece uses metaphor of pickpockets and sprouting gardens to frame ideas about prudence, financial risk, and personal boundaries. It reflects a light tongue in a newspaper style.
Dr Lawrence Lamb explains that alcohol has calories close to fat per gram based on USDA analysis. A 1.5 ounce whisky jigger ranges about 100 to 125 calories depending on alcohol content. He notes the broader risk pattern: heavy drinkers gain weight, while some drinkers use alcohol as a sleep aid, with overall calories from alcohol a small part of daily intake.
A reflective essay argues that society overvalues success and wealth and that pursuit can corrupt happiness and family life. It contrasts Edsel Ford and Howard Hughes with the trap of endless accumulation, warns against overeducating, and promotes contentment over material riches while urging youth to pursue drive with balance.
Puzzle filled with mixed clues spanning clothing parts Latin terms and geographic hints. Answers include head covering feminine items and body-related terms, with references to fabrics, colors, and household items.
The column credits Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty with speaking common sense on taxes. It notes his critics including Bill Lowh and Anne Lepher from Manchester NH, while arguing Democratic hopefuls in Florida and Wisconsin avoided substantive anti tax stands. The piece contrasts rising federal spending with calls for tax restraint.
The article notes John Yorty criticizing a $40 billion budget debate and mismanagement, citing Comptroller Elmer Staats. It analyzes Yorty’s New Hampshire performance, regional strengths in Manchester and Milford, and implications for the 1972 California primary amid rising federal spending concerns.
The piece argues against a value added tax labeling it an income tax in disguise. It contends VAT shifts costs to workers via higher prices and potential wage cuts, citing Murray Rothbard's critique of VAT as a looming swindle. It explains collection and impact on producers, merchants, and consumers.
The piece warns that adopting value added tax in Europe to subsidize exports could trigger a global trade war. It argues against new taxes, predicting property and income tax shifts in Ohio and predicts taxes will rise rather than fall, urging tax repeal instead of reform.
The piece argues a guaranteed minimum wage is wrong and a hoax. It claims wages are a trade between employer and worker, tied to production. As production falls, employers pay less or cannot hire, risking bankruptcy.
The argument questions whether a legislated minimum wage helps or harms employment. It suggests higher production drives higher wages and warns that mandates may reduce opportunities for less skilled workers. It frames a debate on fairness and wisdom in wage policy.
