Milton J Kramer leads the publicity against Proposition 18 and cites anonymous contributions totaling 95 000 in the 331 700 campaign. The piece urges a weekly public accounting of all receipts and loans in state campaigns and calls on the legislature and secretary of state to investigate.
New York City pilots a humane experiment by closing Fifth Avenue to cars from 2 to 5 pm each Sunday until Jan. 3. Pedestrians ice skate on thermoplastic and sing on library steps as Ken Patton credits the move with reopening human connection amid a census era mood. The New York Times notes streets filled with good humor and unhurried kindness, suggesting the policy could change how people relate.
Governor Reagan cut funds for the Board of Education staff, arguing one conservative team could serve both the board and the superintendent. With Rafferty backing a separate board staff, board chairman Howard Day weighs Riles preferences as calls grow to dispense with a separate board staff for a year during fiscal straits.
In testimony before a Senate subcommittee on drug purchasing practices, five doctors said plain aspirin works better and cheaper than exotic cold remedies. They argued medicine and science have drifted beyond public reach, while drug companies would feel the probe’s headache yet can cure their pains with aspirin.
A Connecticut bus with UAW support banners sits near Capitol Hill while Sen. Proxmire and Sen. Goldwater debate the SST. The piece argues that ecology versus employment divides Democrats and labor, pressing environmental votes over aerospace promises, with unions and conservationists watching closely.
LOU CANNON notes a clash between funding conservation and pollution control versus SST programs. The President vetoes jobs measures while endorsing SST production for economic reasons, urging $210 million SST spend over $350 million for conservation and schools. Cranston expands on safety and vertical takeoff aircraft to justify the SST. This signals that conservation efforts on Capitol Hill cost money and may require political risk. A likely outcome is more buses with barriers at Capitol Hill.
A slate of letters from Long Beach readers discusses the upcoming school funding needs to staff and equip classrooms, the Hue and Cry law and protections for witnesses, premarital counseling under James Hayes law, and an aerospace engineer’s note on SST sonic boom overpressure and its effect on marine life.
