The author recalls an unnamed idle official called Mr Blister to illustrate a reform idea. He discusses Jimmy Carter's civil service plan to curb protectionism, link pay to performance, and merit-based promotion. The piece notes mixed support and opposition from civil service unions and policymakers.
The piece rebuts Andrew Young's remarks on political prisoners arguing there are none in the United States and condemns Kremlin repression while defending free emigration and speech. It notes postal contract tensions and affirms no strike interference by law, urging workers to accept or renegotiate settlements. It ends with a biblical verse referencing service and example.
The Louise Brown case sparks dispute among theologians and philosophers about freedom and limits. Boston University scholar J Robert Nelson notes uncertainty yet acceptance of progress, while Vatican and natural law views clash with the idea that nature includes mind. The piece argues expanding choice elevates the role of conscience and motive in decisions about life, cloning, and space exploration.
Washington notes renewed interest in a single military chief of staff. A Carter era study suggests a limited reform: designate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs as the secretary of defense’s agent for supervising unified commands, with orders transmitted through the chairman and consulted with other JCS members when possible. Critics warn such tinkering could undermine checks and balances and the stature of the JCS as defense policy debates heat up amid Gen. Jones’s contentious candidacy and looming arms talks.
The narrator recounts a revelatory moment watching a Lowenbrau commercial that shifts his view on advertising. He recalls mispronounced names, a fond German memory, and a critique of American versions. He questions FTC scrutiny over the mispronunciation and defends the humor.
