A critical telegram cites AP reporting that Nixon asks Congress to approve a 1979 budget exceeding revenues for the fourth year. It argues the deficit will be about $20 billion, suggesting a widening inflationary money supply and accusing the administration of misleading language and fiscal manipulation. The piece questions the use of deficit financing as a tax on taxpayers.
The Hous Armed Service Committee warns of weak southern and Gulf defenses after a Cuban pilot airlifted a AMIG-7 fighter to a Florida base in 1989 and a Russian transport carried delegates to a sugar conference from Havana to New Orleans last year. Rep Hebert cites virtually no triggerable air defense along the southern border and Gulf Coast, while a NORAD head notes radar gaps below 2,000 feet.
The piece argues that Americans saving money in banks and savings and loan associations supports the economy by financing housing, real estate, corporate bonds, and business ventures. It notes deposits fund housing loans, commercial financing, and municipal bonds, while credit unions fund consumer loans, promoting financial independence.
A Chicago Post spoof claims Nixon created five Henry Kissingers via NIH cloning to manage Vietnam talks and other foreign policy. The tale describes a White House dorm of duplicates, card draws for missions, and staged swinger imagery to mislead the public.
A 1972 Telegram column explains yellow jaundice causes from red blood cell breakdown, bile duct obstruction, and liver disease, with treatment tied to cause. It also debunks diverticulosis turning into colon cancer, noting diverticulosis is common and not a cancer precursor.
A jumble list presents wordplay clues with mixed letter fragments and hints. It includes entries like Demire, Hinder, Recent, and various numbered clues such as Heating device, Compass paint, Villain's, and Gaelic HOF deed, inviting readers to form complete words from given segments.
A critical view questions the idealized image of Daniel Ellsberg as a rational Defense Department type who leaked the Pentagon Papers. It cites Ellsberg's ties to radical chic, collaboration with H. Bruce Franklin, and public appearances with the peace movement, suggesting his stance lacks rational justification and is more gesture than principle. The piece contrasts his supposed hawkish intelligence with later antiwar actions and derides the social circle surrounding him.
A critique of how standards of sanity shape law and culture. The piece argues doctors and lawmakers increasingly label behavior as mental illness to justify confinement, risking nonconformists losing rights without criminal charges. It mentions Szasz and MPLP opposing involuntary commitment and coercive treatment, warning of a chilling drift toward diagnostic control.
The ball’s thin rubber cover carries dimples to improve lift and stability for longer, straighter flights. In another note, shipworms avoid colliding with nearby burrows after detecting and turning aside when sensing an obstacle.
