In Harper's magazine Jim Hougan defends Howard Callaway, showing he was wrongly smeared after serving as Secretary of the Army and during Ford’s 1976 campaign. The piece rebuts allegations of impropriety, noting the only issue was time spent on personal business, contested by a Democratic attack led by Floyd Haskell and Chairman Henry Jackson.

Abortion Battle Shapes Policy After Hyde Amendment
The House backed the Hyde Amendment to limit Medicaid funding for abortions while the Supreme Court limited state duties to fund abortions when mothers are not at risk. Anti abortion groups press Congress with lobbying and letters backed by religious groups, while polls show strong support for a woman's right to choose. The debate splits by wealth, access, and gender, with fear of illegal abortions and calls for a constitutional convention. Both sides cite moral and religious arguments about when life begins and the burden on society.
