Marijuana harms and the danger to Washington journalism
John Stacks argues that Watergate reporting should not tempt journalists into a pestering “get the guy” culture. The piece questions the neglect of broader government activity and cites Senate Internal Security and medical experts on cannabis toxicity, fetal risk, and brain effects, urging readers to seek more evidence from the Eastland Subcommittee.

Ralph de Toledano profiles Representative William Gray of Indiana and argues that the phrase reordering of priorities is misleading. He cites fiscal data from 1953 to 1974 showing defense cuts and rising social spending, urging a hard, balanced appraisal of where to cut and what can actually be afforded.

Blue Ridge Project Faces Dam Moratorium and Scenic Fight
The Federal Power Commission backs Appalachian Power for a two dam pumped storage plan. If approved by the House and passed by the Senate, a two year moratorium on New River dams could follow and a Wild and Scenic Rivers designation may permanently block development. The river’s age and pristine condition argue against dams. Construction would flood 40,000 acres, displacing about 900 families. No generated power would serve North Carolina or Virginia, though some backers say tourism and regional economies could gain in Alleghany Ashe counties and Grayson County.
