The Middletown Journal lists ANN HOFFMAN as Publisher and M DAVID GOODWIN as Editor with MICHAEL WILLIAMS serving as Editorial Page Editor. The note reflects the paper's historical leadership lineup and roles within the publication.
The Journal recalls July 4 1945 as not a safe and sane Fourth. World events since 1939 erase sanity and safety, as blood and toil reclaim Europe and challenge brutal forces in Asia. Millions fight for liberty and equality, reaffirming 1776 truths and the duty to defend rights. Some sons may die today, yet the nation moves toward a safer Fourth next year.
The essay reflects on Billy Graham's influence through television and his nonpartisan outreach, noting his rare fusion of faith with broad appeal. It contrasts past live-and-let-live values with today’s entangled religion and politics, and suggests the nation could use another Graham to unify perspectives.
A Tribune Media Services piece argues that undermining the traditional family fuels rising state control. It cites shifts toward day care, sex education, de-institutionalization of marriage, and same sex marriage as threats to parental authority, with children’s welfare at stake. The piece warns of rule by the state and a diminished civil liberty through family dissolution.
A columnist critiques Mexico’s handling of two racially charged issues. Vicente Fox’s remark about immigrants and the Memin Pinguin controversy spark backlash, highlighting insensitivity toward black communities and a demand for mutual respect in global relations.
