An opinion piece questions a plan to save energy by moving workers’ hours earlier, arguing the so called saving may simply shift consumption to morning. It also criticizes a proposed 80 gas and 95 mph truck speed limit, warning the plan could create dangerous passing scenarios on two-lane highways.
The text argues against speed limit proposals for trucks, contending limits waste fuel by forcing trucks to crawl uphill, create stop and go traffic, and raise highway wear. It claims higher speeds are needed for freight efficiency and that energy problems require increased production rather than blunt regulatory limits.
The piece argues that anti growth groups and environmentalists clash while government curbs energy use and industrial growth. It predicts shortages, forced home cooling limits, early retirement, and a future population boom as a reaction to restrictions, citing a quirky tale of an overactive rainy morning wakeup as a cautionary example.
The fragment records a 1929 draft of impressions on people and events from 1923. It mentions Oakland with balloon tires, a $185 superheterodyne set, a $12 salary, and $30 from Elgor Dunning. It notes Prohibition debates, dirigibles, Ford Tri motor travel, and Pullman sleeping cars. It recalls Al Smith beaten, Hoover president, bootlegging schemes, and radio singers Vallee and Harris with Greta Carbo and John Gilbert as stars.
A diary style recount describes Wall Street's collapse two months earlier with stock losses and broker suicides. It recalls global unemployment, social fear, and personal moments from a journalist observing colleagues, romance, and a resolve to write despite economic misery.
Lawrence E. Lamb discusses how high blood pressure often lacks a clear cause, with treatments focusing on symptoms rather than roots. He advises weight control, salt reduction, and fat intake limits, plus medications to open arteries when needed. He also addresses the social impact of smoking on public spaces and urges stricter enforcement and personal action against nuisance habits.
A social scientist from the University of Michigan argues inner city youths with high motivation and strong street skills fail at ordinary jobs because those traits clash with conventional workplaces. Caplan, after years of study, says programs overlook youths' existing competencies and the personal price of abandoning a positive self image. He urges matching training to actual skills and socialization patterns to boost meaningful employment prospects.
A commentary argues against political uses of economic leverage through oil and Rhodesian chrome. It labels embargoes as warfare, urges UN action to ban boycotts, criticizes the Arab oil weapon and Western complicity, and calls for stronger international norms to prevent economic coercion.
