Editorial outline from the Columbus Telegram argues for freedom self control and moral action grounded in the Coveting Commandment Golden Rule and the Declaration of Independence. It asserts equal endowments by a Creator and responsibility to preserve freedom and property for oneself and others.
Arkansas Governor David Prior echoes Ronald Reagan's federal plan by proposing to cut $26 million in state aid to local governments and slash state income taxes by 25 percent. He argues for shifting more control to counties and cities and back to individual taxpayers to decide which programs to fund. The idea, praised by some as restoring local power, is seen by others as too radical.
An opinion piece contrasts Governor elect James R. Thompson's stance on federalizing welfare with support for centralized funding. It laments tax burdens on taxpayers and questions the spiritual following of Guru Maharaj Ji, noting shifting public sentiment and societal costs.
The narrator reflects on career choices and temptations in film industry romance. She rejects offers from smiling men promising wealth if she abandons editing and writing, choosing to remain committed to her own craft and ambitions despite alluring shortcuts.
The piece recalls Teddy Kennedy fading from prominence while the narrator, a rival journalist, contrasts their own career with memories of Jerry a younger, ambitious radio columnist in New York. The tone mixes reflection with recollection of media life and personal rivalry.
The piece argues that Ted Kennedy lost White House prospects and influence after the Carter era. It notes Kennedy's diminished power, strained relationships with Jimmy Carter, and the lingering shadow of Chappaquiddick. The author questions whether a future run in 1992 would restore his standing.
A discussion cites ancient vomitoria and UCLA medicine professor Dr. George Bray predicting indigestible foods within three years. These foods would pass largely undigested, reducing calorie intake and letting people eat freely without gaining weight, in a culture craving excess.
Assistant U.S. Attorney General proposal for a mandatory 18 month jail term for price fixing is challenged as overbroad. The author argues that regulation and licensing raise costs, and that true threats come from monopolies and political gatekeepers rather than market price agreements.
Jim Bishop recalls Jerry, a gifted talker and publicity seeker, who pivoted from Brooklyn roots to ambitious Hollywood dreams. The piece tracks Jerry’s overconfident ventures, a clash with Walter Winchell, and a doomed bid to parlay writing talent into film studio stardom, ending with a revealing cinema moment.
