A devotional card features two quotations on life, death, and human progress. It cites First Corinthians to claim victory over death through Christ and Horace Mann urging humane achievements before dying. The card blends religious meditation with secular educational inspiration.
Humorist Art Buchwald warned the Democratic convention would be dull and networks fill hours of coverage with gimmicks. Anchors oversell vice presidential intrigue while cameras spotlight bored delegates, roving shots and reporters seeking drama. Despite praise for coverage, viewers resist force fed politics as games and rulings compete for attention.
A Sunday blaze at Foxfire Apartments highlighted gaps between local safety practices and state code minimums. The attic fire spread through eight units, showing how weak fire barriers and an inspector's error allowed greater damage. The incident argues for amending the North Carolina code to improve fire resistance and enforcement.
Connecticut and Utah hold state conventions on July 17 to select 55 delegates. With Ford and Reagan neck and neck, these state delegates could influence who wins the 1,130 needed for the GOP nomination. The piece draws parallels with 1884 and 1932 to illuminate political precedent.
Democratic delegates hear that Jimmy Carter channels Adm Hyman Rickover in fighting bureaucracy and wasting no taxpayer money while remaining within system. Carter seeks single minded achievement and demands total dedication from aides, in contrast yet similar to Rickover. Wallace views last hurrah as he cops a possible federal appointment or judgeship while keeping a skeleton campaign alive.
Obituary homage to Nellie Marshall Brown who died at 14 while praised for faithfulness simplicity and generosity. Her four grandsons hold prominent roles Bishop Arthur Marshall Jr. Bill Marshall Herman Reese and Robert J. Brown. The piece notes her influence on faith training and community service and recalls a 1970s Washington Hilton event honoring Bob Brown. It also covers local civic events and infrastructure updates in High Point and North Carolina tax policy and bond news.
A provocative column argues that Britain’s decline erodes American security. It claims the British fleet once half the world’s naval power and that postwar U.S. policy weakened alliances, risking loss of canal controls and global leadership. The piece contrasts Britain’s brains with U.S. political naivete in foreign affairs.
