The Nation essay by Morton H Fried argues Mao Zedong and Lin Piao aim to restore primitive society to resist Western pressure, fearing a U S invasion in 1967 or 1968. He frames the struggle as a rational, though misunderstood, power shift rather than madness or inevitable war.
The General Services Administration will not buy 1969 cars with chrome protrusions seen as hazards. Experts say such ornaments can injure or kill pedestrians, with about 1,000 injuries daily. Designers urged to create safer, stylish hoods without impaling or shredding risks. Rolls Royce and sports cars face implied impact on vanity versus safety.
In Long Beach the editor contrasts Gov. Reagan's 10 per cent cut proposal with larger state university budgets elsewhere. The piece urges removing appointees from the Board of Regents, keeping politics out of education, and supporting the University of California. It also comments on gambling, Cosa Nostra, and the value of a responsible local press.
The Kennedy story in Atlanta shifts from a lament for President Kennedy to a campaign note for Senator Robert Kennedy. Critics warn the narrative may be overextended as Bobby Kennedy’s image lingers with presidential potential despite imperfect phrasing.
James Reston notes that Kennedy coverage swamps U S media with biographies, speculation, and political theater. He observes Kennedy’s increased visibility, limited practical policy, and mixed impact on his 1968 presidential prospects amid Johnson Vietnam debates and CIA episodes.
Washington dispatch notes President Johnson seeks greater focus on civilian and political rebuilding of South Vietnam as U.S. troops report military progress. Desertions from Viet Cong and allied forces have surged at times, but the White House stresses civilian reconstruction alongside military efforts.
Drew Pearson notes the push for a strong civilian government in South Vietnam after 1966 gains, citing President Johnson backing equality of rule, the Guam meeting, and plans for Mekong River development with Lilienthal and others. Palmer may replace Westmoreland. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Thailand stand to gain from a TVA like Mekong project.
In Sacramento Sen George Deukmejian carries Gov Ronald Reagan s 946 million tax package while Sen John G Schmitz may push passage. Schmitz criticizes the plan as excessive and could win key votes. Administration aides privately weigh his opposition as potentially decisive for the bill s fate. Democrats Albert Rodda Alan Short and Randolph Collier co authored the measure.
Republicans lean against the Reagan tax package while some Democrats join in opposition. Schmitz, tied to Birch membership controversy, is used to rally against the plan. Ryan shifts to oppose, then yields to Set. Schmitz, opponents argue, would curb welfare cuts more than Reagan seeks. Sacramento notes: Porter leads multiple chairs. Hayes influences Southland transit. university name debates linger for Long Beach.

It notes California’s coastal influx, warned by Lewis Mumford about eroding natural advantages, and calls for planned, imaginative policy to address transportation education and pollution amid mass Puerto Rican settlement in New York.
Sydney Harris argues that the Negro migration to Northern cities and the shift from core urban areas to suburbs strain municipal services and tax bases. He says population dispersal, not mere growth, tests planning, urging thoughtful land use to prevent overcrowding and loss of regional advantages.
