A defense policy critique urging conservatives to question costly arms programs. The piece cites Navy super carriers, nuclear missiles, and Bi bombers, arguing for skepticism, cheaper alternatives, and a focus on political will over sheer weaponry. It frames defense spending within broader historical outcomes and conservative principles.
A longtime editorial argues that strict federal price controls on natural gas since 1960 caused underproduction, shortages, and economic hardship. It urges deregulation to restore supply, fund exploration, and shift toward conservation and new energy sources amid severe winter demand.
President Carter maintains a firm pledge to pardon Vietnam draft evaders and deserters in varying forms, while deferring on desertion clemency to study. The inaugural focus centers on blanket amnesty for those who evaded or failed induction, with legal and moral questions noted for deserters.
A reader criticizes the Ohio Bureau of Employment Services in Middletown for dire lines and inconsistent days for unemployment reporting. She urges better scheduling, possible computerization, and wider access to law books, and notes writing officials for change. She also highlights neighborly acts and local letters about service and store temperatures.
John Roche weighs the ethics of compromise in politics from Carter's rhetoric to major 1960s legislation. He cites LBJ's civil rights gains and Yardley's espionage episode to illustrate trade-offs, then questions whether aiding Korea amid 40,000 U.S. troops serves a higher moral end or risks destabilizing a key ally and global balance.
