High Point votes in first school board election
The first election for High Point school board seats ended with five incumbents among seven candidates, one unopposed in his ward. The incumbent who lost had been appointed by City Council, whose swift post election actions sparked disappointment. Two years hence three appointed members must run, giving voters full control of all seven board seats as a new administration and superintendent begin.

The Great Leap Forward in Washington Power Struggle
In a satirical dispatch from Washington observers abroad mock the Ford White House as enmeshed in a cultural revolution. Kissinger's fall from grace, Rumsfeld and Bush replacing officials, Colby ousted, Rockefeller vilified, and a looming purge tied to Reagan influence are depicted as foreign-voiced commentary on U.S. political infighting and a faux Great Leap Forward in policy and power.
