Rep Paul Offner's plan to work at various jobs in the 32nd Senate District for publicity ends with a fall from a new municipal building. Critics note unsafe stunts and warn that labor unions and working people frown on untrained candidates imitating trades for campaign leverage.
Circuit Judge William Sachtsen and U.S. District Judge Myron Gordon backed plea bargains for David Fine, one of four suspects in the 1970 Sterling Hall bombing at UW Madison.

John P. Roche argues that debunking busing fears requires recognizing de facto segregation in northern cities and the limits of law.

He calls for a district commitment to basic reading skills before graduation, suggests curriculum reform and possible vocational paths, and warns that without root causes being addressed the discipline problem will persist.
David S. Broder argues the 1976 primaries shattered conventional wisdom and exposed flaws in the system. He notes the rise of outsiders, the weak link between parties and outcomes, and the public’s decisive but distorted influence through small, uneven electorates and odd voting rules.
The author reflects on the emotional pull of the Phoenix Suns vs Boston Celtics series. He cites identification with a team as a source of personal meaning, contrasting logic with the irrational fervor fans feel for sports and their own life values.
