Blizzard Halts Activity Despite Mild Record Set
A blizzard described as among the worst in 29 years halted normal activity, with drifts piling up and travel slowed. The piece recalls how, decades ago, clearing driveways relied on farm blades and Model T travel, noting census figures for Moravia and a controversial release on abortion costs offered as a dubious sales pitch.
FOR YOUR HEALTH AND POCKETBOOK
The piece urges study of Medicare and Medicaid to fix administrative and cost problems before new legislation. It opposes a compulsory national system and calls for improving private health care and insurance through incentive oriented methods and alternative financing. The federal role should remove legal barriers and encourage better health care financing, delivery, and costs control.
