Oblomovitis grips U S energy policy and blocks progress
The piece argues that U S energy policy suffers from Oblomovitis as lawmakers fail to move beyond talk. It cites rising oil imports from 6 to 9 million barrels daily since 1973, stalled nuclear and coal projects, public support for atom power in some states, and proposes generic nuclear licensing and bold export policies to spur growth. It concludes by comparing Washington inertia to historical Rome and urging action.

Ear-mouth circuits in politics and punditry
A critical column discusses the "ear-mouth hot-line" in presidential discourse, citing Ford Carter debates and Kennedy’s deft responses. It analyzes how rapid, ill considered replies harm diplomacy, with Polish rights and the Begin Sadat talks highlighted as examples of missteps and misinterpretations shaping public perception. The piece notes Carter’s pattern of quick, misguided generalizations and urges careful, brain‑before‑speech deliberation.

Communists pull strings in France in left split
Jeffrey Hart argues the Socialist Communist split in France centers on leader Georges Marchais and the Communist Party. Marchais aims to dominate the Left and push toward state control, while Mitterand faces internal pressure from party divisions and union influence as Giscard seeks reelection.
