Ueberroth leads LA cleanup with Olympic legacy cited
Editorial praises Peter Ueberroth for overseeing the Los Angeles cleanup effort and highlighting the 1984 Games. It notes strong post Games grants by the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles totaling $484,585 to 29 Southern California youth sports groups, and lists grants to the California Handicapped Skiers Foundation and the Constitutional Rights Foundation as examples of ongoing benefits from the LA Games era.

Arrogance grows as de Klerk tightens grip on reform
In a reflective appraisal, observers say F W de Klerk, after lifting bans and releasing Mandela, edged toward preserving white power. The March referendum boosted his confidence, leading to a tougher stance in talks with the ANC and fears the interim regime could endure if 75 percent approval remains required. The piece questions whether de Klerk will pivot to a genuine transition or risk disaster for all.

A letter from John A Bond argues to keep Kasold Drive at Eighth Street stop signs to preserve pedestrian safety and vehicle access. A second letter by Yvonne Markley praises the Farmers Market meat smokers, noting breakfast, produce, flowers, and ambience as reasons to resist changes and likening market noise to lighter smoke than cigarettes.

Dismantling the middle class by Barrett and Steele
A critical review of America What Went Wrong by Donald Barrett and James Steele argues the book makes a populist tax reform case built on flawed economics. It credits the authors for digging into 1986 tax law but says the work overreaches, misreads deregulation, and wrongly blames lobbyists while neglecting market-driven global shifts and the true drivers of middle-class change.
