A study links $10 billion in annual drug costs to crime and lost productivity. It argues the best path to lowering the costs is stricter enforcement against traffickers, amid concerns over education and rehabilitation effectiveness. The piece notes rising heroin use and shifts in supply, urging law enforcement focus.
AFL-CIO leader George Meany and ally Afkan warn Democrats not to repeat past mistakes as critics question if George McGovern was truly too radical. The argument centers on Acid Amnesty and Abortion slogans used by Republicans to attack McGovern, while Ford shifts toward similar ideas.

The Weinberger plan would give every adult a $900 credit, not $1,000, with similar overall effect. McGovern proposals drew GOP ridicule as crazy a defense cut but faced labor and political pressure from Meany allies and Henry Jackson.
A reader praises World Vision for aid to Bangladesh and Cambodia after watching a TV program They Search for Survival. The letter laments hunger at home but urges gratitude and support, naming World Vision International and a Pasadena address for donations.
