Lawmakers push for stronger Phase II measures, possibly triggering automatic controls if a 3 percent annual price rise lasts three months, as labor demands and contract timing loom large. The administration faces pressure to act before the April 30 expiry and avoid loss of control over wage and price rules.

The Danville Register discusses the long road back from pornography censorship, noting a New York Criminal Court ruling banning Deep Throat as obscene and speculating the Supreme Court will restrain public depictions of sex. It argues Last Tango in Paris raises issues of public depiction versus private thought, calling the film both a moral challenge and a sado masochistic work by Bertolucci and Brando, whose improvisational production and reputations intensify the debate on art’s impact on civilization.
