Heed bishops' call for peace over nuclear war
The Roman Catholic bishops issue a comprehensive pastoral letter urging no first use of nuclear weapons and a halt to new arms. They advocate a nuclear freeze, world restraint, and direct negotiation by the president with the Soviet Union to reduce the threat to humanity. Their stance crosses political lines and emphasizes defense of the weak.

Black America faces two tiered recovery under Reaganomics
In 1983 analysis, John E. Jacob of the Urban League argues Reagan era cuts and recession deepen black and minority hardship. He cites nearly twice white unemployment, loss of government jobs, rising black poverty, and reduced access to education and health programs. He warns recovery must be egalitarian to avoid generational stagnation.

Politics and patience
Americans who backed a shift to conservative policies in 1980 now split over pace and method under Reagan. Activists like Lewis Lehrman push for populist conservatism and bold reforms, while business conservatives demand action on unions and policy changes. Reagan must balance divergent views, press for defense rebuilding, use natural resources, and pursue reforms gradually to win enduring support.
