The author laments the modern flood of publishing, the disposal of books, and the struggle to choose what to read. He recalls prewar scarcity, suggests libraries reject many titles, and notes the shift in values as publishers flood the market with 40,000 new and old titles yearly. He worries about wasted effort and calls for thoughtful curation.
A columnist argues President Carter should retain the Office of Telecommunications Policy established by Nixon in 1970. The piece warns dispersal to Commerce and other offices would weaken White House policy oversight of the electronic revolution and politicize telecom policy.
The article argues that linking the Federal Reserve Board chairman’s term to a president could invite political influence over monetary policy. Arthur Burns warns such politicization would risk inflation, noting independent central banks in the United States, West Germany, and Switzerland have controlled inflation best. The piece ends with a biblical quotation about contentment.
A tense scene unfolds as Gertrude is questioned about her missing boy. She offers evasive replies amid blunt taunts about his age, appearance, and supposed homelessness while a photograph is sought but not available, highlighting the difficulties in tracking the child.
George F. Will analyzes Senator Edward Kennedy's proposed tax plan changing rates from 14 70 percent to 10 50 percent, funded by removing exemptions and converting deductions to credits. He argues mortgage interest property taxes and other deductions should become credits, with caps on homeownership and charity, while medical deductions would end with national health insurance.
Letter writer blasts taxpayers as gullible for supporting what he calls political rackets like OSHA and tax increases.
