Coal strike coverage blamed on media bias and contract fate
Washington observers argue TV and wire services magnified a doomsday view of the United Mine Workers strike. The piece contends networks favored militant West Virginia voices, pressed Carter to convene a White House debate, and saw Taft Hartley fail, while a final contract boosts miners’ pay to about 21 000 yearly by year three. The author notes coal supplies will recover by summer and strip mining expands in the West.

Quotes on faith and conduct by Meador and Jefferson
A church membership does not make a Christian any more than owning a piano makes a musician. Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask how you would act if the world were watching and act accordingly.
