It notes legal actions risk creating moral juries, praises post public morality but warns of martyrs and misplaced respectability for pornographers. The piece shifts to Cleveland’s Cuyahoga River, now cleaner yet prone to ice, as a paradox of progress.

Peace Pact Near End of Grapes of Peace War
Victor Riesel reports that after years of conflict between the Teamsters and Cesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers, a peace pact is near. The piece notes tensions over pensions, welfare, contracts, and legal battles, but says both sides seek an orderly settlement and a broader drive to unionize field workers nationwide. Chavez aims for a single nationwide farm labor federation with broad support, while the Teamsters want to extend organizing into new regions and crops. The story cites elections counts in California showing Chavez ahead in wins but Teamsters representing more workers overall.
