Minnesota lawmaker's plan for public campaign spending disclosure
A group of Minnesota legislators proposes a system using precampaign funding in scrip purchases tracked by the secretary of state. Candidates would fund campaigns ahead of time, buy ads and services with scrip, and redeem it for U.S. currency. The plan aims to curb late contributions and evasion, with potential to permit scrip purchases during campaigns if publicly disclosed.

Looking Back at Yalta 26 Years Later
Chip Bohlen, Roosevelt’s interpreter at Yalta, reflects on the conference that reshaped postwar Europe. He argues it destroyed the illusion the U S would mold Russia to be a normal nation, and notes three key angles: Poland and free elections, UN Security Council veto procedures, and Far East military plans. Bohlen cautions the deals were too late to alter East European realities and acknowledges China’s concerns.
