Ernest Cuneo contrasts U S crime rates with Britain's, arguing that strict law reverence formed in schools and swift justice, with unarmed police and strong punishments, reduces crime.

A discussion on police integrity and its effects on public trust notes Britain’s relatively low crime and incorruptible police, then contrasts with Newark Mayor pleading the Fifth Amendment before a grand jury, arguing such actions degrade office and threaten fearlessness in law enforcement.
William S. White laments the unpopularity of the Vietnam war and pleads for compassion toward American troops. He recalls Christmases past, contrasts unity at home with today’s isolation for soldiers, and argues history may judge their sacrifice with memory and duty beyond controversy.
The narrative follows the long-building of a mountain home from 1967 to 1968 in SCRABBLE Virginia.

Richard Spong notes Okinawa’s return pact boosts US influence in the Pacific.
