PennDOT cuts back highway spending amid austerity plan
PennDOT unveiled a set of cutbacks including canceling the 1974 resurfacing program worth 9.2 million and bridging painting at 3.2 million. It defers many highway projects until July 1 1974, freezes equipment purchases, and delays sign production and paving markings. Kassab ordered weekly advance reports to inform media and the motoring public. The note closes with a wary forecast for Corry area road maintenance and a separate Nixon beachfront property angle.

Nixon Sought to Sell San Clemente Beach Estate to Abplanalp
A covert 1970 deal linked President Nixon to aerosol magnate Abplanalp over the San Clemente estate and adjacent Camp Pendleton land. Abplanalp loaned Nixon $625,000, then cancelled debt and took most of the estate, while Nixon occupied the property rent free. Officials indicate surplusing Pendleton was urged to aid a private sale, though Congress blocked the plan and public park talk faded.

Law on Custody: When a Child Chooses Residence
The general rule is the son cannot decide until he reaches 18, at which point he is no longer a minor and may choose his living arrangements. Courts weigh the child's welfare, often ignoring a younger child’s preference, but as a child ages the son's wishes gain importance depending on the case facts.
