A writer laments the hijacking of words like gay and adult by modern usage. He recalls how flag and liberated also shifted meanings and asks if language can be reclaimed. He cites Nixon Ford and Carter to illustrate restoration possibilities.
The 1977 commentary traces welfare reform efforts from Nixon's 1969 Family Assistance Plan to Carter's call for a complete overhaul. It notes nine programs spending about 50 billion dollars annually and argues reforms must balance incentives to work with aid, aiming to strengthen family responsibility.
A public hearing in Los Angeles examined a proposed FTC rule requiring dealers to post detailed vehicle disclosures. The sticker would include dealer identity, vehicle make and year, prior use, any major repairs over 100 dollars, and warranty or service contract details. Supporters say fuller disclosures protect buyers and reduce disputes, while some dealers warn of added costs and limited private sales exemption.
John Chamberlain argues that the current Congress is largely dishonorable, condemning pay raises and the Byrd Amendment while praising a few lawmakers such as Rep. Mickey Edwards and Sen. Schweiker as honorable exceptions. The piece notes proposals, votes, and policy stances on pay linked to inflation, OSHA reforms, school choice, abortion views, and tax credits for youth employment, ending with a call for more lawmakers like Schweiker and Bauman.
A Hamilton home letter from Rep Tom Kindness jokes about saccharin, FDA rules, and proposed bills. It references the Delaney clause, Andy Jacobs, and the idea of labeling saccharin as dangerous to rats. The piece blends satire with political debate on food additives and personal use.
