Dole Mondale Friday debate judged weak and dull
The Friday night faceoff between Dole and Mondale drew little belief it swayed voters and appeared overshadowed by other campaigns. Observers noted each side’s “hatchetman” image and warned about choosing a running mate revealing more about candidates than the top job. The piece criticizes the tone and questions the quality of general political leadership.

Viet Commies Detain Throng Of Foes In Reeducation Camps
The Vietnam regime reportedly holds 200000 to 300000 political prisoners in reeducation camps including former Saigon officials and anti Thieu critics such as Buddhists Hoa Hao leaders and Third Force parliamentarians. SANE cites private reports from inside and outside Vietnam alleging widespread detentions with limited family contact and calls for a full accounting and international inspection. A separate pre election purge at the Federal Power Commission removes top pro consumer lawyers tied to oil and gas interests, reshaping the agency before the next presidency.
