1977 Moratorium Sought on Pension Legislation
The Democratic House Majority Caucus backs a moratorium on pension related laws as the Joint State Government Commission studies public pensions. Pennsylvania faces about 3.5 billion dollars in unfunded liabilities, with pension costs rising faster than salaries across 1350 local government plans and several state systems. A permanent Retirement Study Commission is urged to examine the overall system and policy, including a guideline that retirement benefits should not exceed 85 percent of final pay.

Andy Young and the Africa policy shift in race rhetoric
The article argues UN ambassador Andy Young redirected U S black rights tensions abroad by urging boycotts and provocative rhetoric in Africa. It contends this moved domestic race anger overseas, defanging U S agitators and boosting a national image tied to human rights. It likens Carter era tactics to create a Nomefront hero and neuter domestic restiveness by shifting focus abroad.

When Every Day Was the Fourth of July rises as family hour pilot
Dan Curtis, TV producer and former NBC barnstormer, recalls pitching When Every Day Was the Fourth of July in 1952 as a comedy about Bridgeport childhood. After four rejections and decades of thriller work, he reimagined it as an hour-long family drama set in 1930s Bridgeport, involving a girl persuading her lawyer father to defend a brain-damaged WWI veteran falsely accused of murder.
