The column satirically portrays a political figure admitting a communication failure and misidentified car, noting a 1986 Mercedes GL490 rather than a Pinto. It references an IRS review, personal exemptions for children, a staff reassignment, and ongoing inquiries with no further answers given.
The piece argues that if Reagan aides or Reagan erred legally in arming Iran and funding Nicaragua, the moral merits of aiding the anti Ortega rebels remain unchanged. Critics should not conflate moral outrage with policy on Central America, as aiding anti Ortega forces hinges on strategic aims, not past scandals.
The piece notes Republicans including Pierre du Pont IV and Newt Gingrich proposing major changes to Social Security with personal accounts and retirement plans. It warns of high political risk for the GOP and cites Rep. Jack Kemp urging against tampering, calling it a prefrontal lobotomy for any candidate.
Letter from Janice Wilson of Destin urges opening Henderson Beach State Park with rangers and amenities to protect children. She contrasts with private beaches on Old 98 and calls for public safety, bathrooms with showers, pavilions, and family friendly activities, urging mothers to support the park. The Log notes nearby items: beach access walkovers, handicapped access, west end Holiday Isle parking progress, and Donavan Kinney as third deputy in Destin.
The Okaloosa County board approved a Redfish resolution urging no fishing moratoriums until an ichthyological impact study is done. They discussed granting beach access permits, wastewater effluent use at the airport via subsurface irrigation, park offers in Destin, and leasing an empty Crestview factory to a Holt t shirt business to preserve jobs while wary of government entering private enterprise.
