Women in Politics Faces Glum Housekeeping of 1976 Candidacies
Washington profiles show more women ran in 1976 yet few won seats in Congress and governors offices. Only 18 of 112 sought for Congress secured House seats, a decline from 1974, with incumbents dominating. Senate gains were minimal, and state offices remain largely out of reach. A Rothstein Buckley study aims to explain why despite qualifications most women do not win. The piece weighs funding, organization, media attention, and gender dynamics as factors.

Carter amnesty plan for illegal aliens sparks debate
The editorial argues that President Carter’s proposal to grant some legal status to about eight million undocumented migrants will hinge on Congress. It notes long residency by many, burden on local governments from emergency services, and calls out employers who hire illegally. It warns the core issue is future arrivals, not those already here, and questions a workable solution.
