The newspaper announces New Jersey editor THE JOURNAL with Elwood Lawler named as Managing Editor and Richardson as Editor. The move signals a reshaped newsroom leadership and continued service to readers.
In a New York federal court Judge Marvin E. Frankel fined Nathan Voloshen ten thousand dollars and suspended a one year prison term after Voloshen pled guilty to conspiracy and three perjury counts linked to using Speaker John McCormack’s office for influence peddling. The judge called the crimes heinous but suggested cooperation in a broader probe could justify the leniency.
The piece notes growing chatter that Israeli and Egyptian officials may cooperate to reopen the Suez Canal, blocked since the 1967 war. It argues reopening would restore a key waterway and contrasts this with ongoing silting that harms shipping, while suggesting a cautious return to rational policy.
Marianne Means outlines Common Cause, the citizen group launched by ex HEW secretary Joan Gardner. After 11 weeks it has 40 000 members at 15 dollars each, short of 100 000 but active. The piece weighs potential political impact and how to become effective without partisan capture as it seeks to transform individual action into social change.
Common Cause labels itself a citizens lobby and plans to pressure lawmakers to back good government legislation. It tested its strategy in the effort to override President Nixon's veto.
National discussion centers on minority hiring in mass media with New York City standards. Networks pledge to raise black and Puerto Rican representation in all crafts and professional roles over two years, from 14.8 percent today, while nationwide equity remains contested.
The statement argues the act targets employment bias nationwide, with local or regional efforts possible but nationwide exposure guiding the applicable standard. It notes the nationwide percentage should apply to employers with broad reach.
The author argues that twenty five years after World War II peace remains fragile. NATO burden sharing grows with Europe expanding defenses while the U S resists large troop reductions. He urges a global crusade for peace to unite peoples and halt the drift toward renewed war.
A peace movement is urged to win over North Vietnam and secure the release of American prisoners. The appeal argues a settlement with South Vietnam and a cooperative U S approach to reassure the Soviet Union of nonhostile intent and gain their leaders' support for peace efforts.
Jeffrey Hart rebuts Newsweek coverage of the University of California San Diego chancellor race, arguing the piece distorts Berman by citing anonymous colleagues and labeling him a bad joke. Hart defends Berman as a leading Shakespeare scholar and nonextremist, praising his qualifications and views on teaching over politics.
A reader urges action against waste and pollution. The writer vows a personal rebellion against affluence and asks readers to stop buying wrapping paper reusable bags and to avoid disposable beverage containers. The letter promotes practical, everyday steps to reduce waste nationwide.
In 1785 Congress directed the Articles of Confederation to base the U S monetary system on a dollar valued as the Spanish milled dollar. The government did not begin minting dollars until 1795, though.
