A warned note argues a 5109 billion debt ceiling increase risks inflation, eroding savings and welfare support, pushing the elderly and unionists into hardship while provoking public anger toward oil companies. It contends the plan could steer the nation toward intervention in the Middle East and erode confidence before consequences unfold.
A reader questions windfall profit claims as gasoline prices rise and fall and cites a Newsweek commentary. Peg Neater argues gun statistics are overstated and references Phoebe Courtney’s book to support gun control as people control.
A letter to the editor argues that promoting causes often leads to coercion and moral absolutism. It notes many groups advocate their view passionately, sometimes crossing lines, and asserts that murder is a legal determination rather than a universal claim.
The writer argues abortion stance varies by time and place, noting dire cases yet calling blanket judgments into question. He rejects both pro and anti positions, positioning himself as middle of the road, and suggests forming a Middle Road Club with dues and a constitution.
A reflection on Israel's precarious diplomatic position amid Arab oil pressure and shifting Western support. It notes Israel’s military resilience since 1980 and questions the strength of its negotiating stance, while acknowledging U.S. aid and the broader threat of annihilation faced by the Jewish state.
A quoted remark from April 28, 1935 notes it is an hour earlier and comments on spending versus saving daylight. The speaker observes how people are urged to spend while daylight is saved, jocosely referencing the idea of Little daylight.
Jim Bishop argues that Israel must compromise over Jerusalem and Golan to deter wider war. He urges U S and Soviet leaders to broker a pact recognizing Israel and borders, with joint guarantees, while urging Moslem, Christian and Jewish council oversight for holy sites. He warns of nuclear missiles if major powers fail.
Dear Dr Lamb describes nighttime breathlessness episodes. Dean Reader explains paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea often tied to left heart disease and hypertension.

The piece argues debt and permissiveness undermine progress, citing William Pardridge and a study of George Washington. It highlights Washington's early rules of civility, his example at the Constitutional Convention, and his non permissive upbringing as evidence that the United States did not begin as a permissive society and may need to return to restraint. It notes many rules still resonate, though modern norms are more often breached.
The proposed Soviet trade deal collapsed not over trade itself but U S subsidized credits. The plan would have lent at 7 percent while borrowing at 9 percent, effectively paying the USSR to buy from the United States. Critics say the Stevens on amendment limiting subsidies doomed the pact as the USSR balked at emigration requirements. Democratic Rep. Vanik and Sen. Jackson faced criticism for the emigration clause influencing the outcome.
Don Oakley notes mutual trading with the Soviet Union centers on nontariff areas. Vanik argues that the US can buy Soviet resources and sell technology and materials, with no need for taxpayer subsidized credit. He says American exporters can obtain bank credit and the Soviets can pay for deals.
