Sylvia Porter notes the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 fails to protect consumers who face costly, hard to navigate disputes with manufacturers. Even full warranties with emon replacement promises or detailed limited terms offer little relief when firms ignore valid complaints or refuse action, forcing consumers to bear legal burdens without affordable help.
Consumers face weak enforcement for warranties as government bodies lack power to rule on individual complaints. Courts act only after issues arise, with small claims limits and costly requirements. Proposals include expanding small claims or empowering agencies to address noncompliance, pressuring firms to truthfully disclose warranty practices.
The indictment of former FBI supervisor John J. Kearney on wiretapping and mall opening charges aimed at Weatherman terrorists threatens bureau morale and credibility.

The column notes Watergate salvos with a Democratic Congress and mentions Charles Colson and John Dean, while defending amateur radio hams against CB critics led by Sen. Barry Goldwater. It highlights that hams aid disaster communications, police themselves, and influence regulation, contrasting with license abuses and profanity among some CB operators.
