Nixon’s Davis-Bacon Edict Falls Short on Inflation
President Nixon suspended the Davis-Bacon Act, but critics say the move is disappointing and ineffective. Industry and labor leaders disagree over its impact on inflation, wages, and the broader housing cost crisis. While some see a small step toward relief, construction workers and unions warn of deeper structural flaws and stalled progress.

Capitol Hill visit exposes miners to high stakes and graft
Hundreds of discontent miners from Pennsylvania and Ohio toured Capitol Hill to petition Congress over alleged union corruption and lack of democracy. They confronted Rep. John Saylor and others about campaign donations and the need for a House probe into union leadership, while officials offered mixed responses and delayed action. Separately, concern rose over the EC-121 spy plane’s microwave exposure risks, with a Public Health Service study noting possible eye damage in about 12 percent of crewmen and references to related rabbit studies and a 1969 North Korea shootdown.

No Soothsayer in Capitol for Huey Newton Trial
Victor Riesel surveys Justice Department vigilance ahead of Huey Newton's March 12 retrial on murder charges in Oakland. He notes Newton's mysticism, purges of Panther leadership, and external funding from figures like Leonard Bernstein and a China-linked donor. Internal security expands to counter revolutionary activity, with new litigation units and surveillance plans amid fears of renewed urban guerrilla threats.
