A critical essay questions the value of labeling Congress members as bright amid Watergate cynicism and political missteps. The author mocks journalism’s Brightest list, suggesting such accolades distract from real policy choices and outcomes.
A letter to the editor argues that government free trade favors all but agriculture, calling for fair prices for food producers. It claims farmers face higher operating costs and longer hours while politicians push production and exports, sidelining farmer finances.
A Washington Post editor questions Jim Bishop about sloppy notes and a biographer’s memory in a critique of Con versations with Kennedy. The piece cites Bradlee and Kennedys relation, July 1963 anecdotes, and a warned article likely never printed.
Dear reader letters discuss enlarging veins in the leg after childbirth and possible prevention. The columnist explains venous dilation results from gravity and interior pressure changes between standing and lying down, noting vein walls' weakness and the role of surrounding support.
The article explains how pregnancy raises abdominal venous pressure causing varicose veins and that constrictive devices worsen the condition. It advises against abdominal compression and obesity, promotes leg muscle exercise, and notes surgery may be required once varicose veins develop, with tests to determine surgical benefit.
A letter outlines how parents in West Virginia and elsewhere influence school curricula by approving or objecting to books. The piece argues that such small group wins show individuals matter against bureaucratic power and cites Ralph Nader and Common Cause as examples of consumer and civic impact.
The piece credits Ray Cromley and Reed Irvine with spurring public opinion on power abuses and media bias. It notes Accuracy in Media challenges major networks and papers, alongside Common Cause and Nader groups, as examples of individual spark and collective activism driving calls for honest news. The author argues activism can balance biases and pressure change, warning of apathy’s cost.
The Columbus Telegram presents a pro freedom message stressing self control as essential to personal and societal development. It frames freedom as a divine gift and contrasts it with license and anarchy, invoking moral guides and the Declaration of Independence as anchors for peaceful living.
The piece argues for Western unity and self sufficiency in energy and robust Atlantic links in trade and travel. It critiques past Indochina policies, notes Britain and France funded Concorde with taxpayer money, cites environmental concerns and U.S. opposition to landing rights while urging solidified Western cooperation and restraint in future ventures.
The piece argues against blocking four daily Concorde landings at Kennedy and two at Dulles citing a three year DOT Climatic Impact Assessment showing SSTs have minimal climate impact. It contends noise would be no worse than 707 and DC-8 traffic and urges embracing global business competition.
