A fragment from a Freedom newspaper proclaims a striving mission for the Permian Basin to be a better place to live, emphasizing civic improvement and community focus.
A reader essay celebrates personal freedom as a divine gift and moral self control. It argues freedom is not license or anarchy but aligns with the Coveting Commandment, the Golden Rule, and the Declaration of Independence.
Our Opinion shows bias and cantankerous stance as editor Robert Brown defends the North Carolina Anvil’s right to prick critics. He notes editors rarely achieve total objectivity and recalls early American papers’ sharp, polemical tone toward rivals and officials.
The piece critiques editor Brown of the Anvil for advocacy journalism and its effects on training young reporters. It pairs him with Edgar Howard, notes a shotgun image for intensity, and argues readers seek clear viewpoints, while acknowledging the value and danger of candid commentary.
Mike Royko argues Chicago politics values winning over ethics. He says Byrne runs to stay in power, notes race as a factor, and cites the city’s history of pragmatic, self interested politics. The piece mocks moral posturing and highlights street level cynicism in Chicago elections.
The writer argues voters act on race and loyalty as Byrne campaigns as a write in. Chicago wards split with Byrne winning 22, Washington 19, Daley nine. Washington had 36 percent, Byrne 33, Daley 30. Epton remains negligible at about 0.05 percent. The piece suggests Byrne is a sore loser though explores motives for write in support. Washington expected to win unless Byrne gains broader support.
Paul Harvey notes nationwide rise in lawsuits from odd claims such as contraceptives failing and bugs in candy bars to a neighbor raped after wine. He cites Florida marijuana growers suing weed killer and a protracted San court trend. He cites outsize numbers of civil suits in federal and state courts and recalls a fraudulent razor blade claim by a McComb woman.
Paul Harvey argues that record lawsuits burden Americans with higher taxes and prices while lawyers soar to 610000 nationwide. He contrasts Japan’s 12000 lawyers with mediation and informal dispute resolution, urging bonding to deter frivolous claims and noting daily KOYL radio broadcasts.
