It surveys critics like Edward Koch and William Bennett, urging mandatory treatment for drug offenders, intensified interdiction, limits on foreign aid, expanded federal punishment options, and broader jail use, while warning against excessive reliance on Congress or legalization. A fuller program is promised later.

Koop earns trust for honest abortion report
U S Surgeon General C Everett Koop refuted a preordained conclusion on abortion by reviewing existing scientific literature. He found no definitive evidence on psychological or physical outcomes and urged that the decision to permit abortions be left to moral and political debate. Koop’s scientific honesty earned trust and respect despite backlash from anti abortion allies and New Right critics.

East West talks shift focus to European security
Secretary of State George Shultz signed a Vienna expansion of the Helsinki accords backed by 33 European nations plus the United States and Canada. The deal calls for broad negotiations to correct the NATO Warsaw Pact conventional imbalance in Europe, signaling a shift in East West relations toward security concerns and away from only strategic arms talks. Moscow’s partial troop and tank withdrawals are noted as a first step, with new talks to start March 9 involving nearly every European state plus the US and Canada.
