In a lighthearted Saturday Notebook, editors joke about a late Christmas tree stolen by a thief, and reflect on holiday wrapping waste and gift-giving quirks. They cite reader letters praising Ottawa’s festive downtown decorations, and ponder President Carter’s Iran situation amid family jokes and a carrier’s paper theft anecdote.
A reader asks about hypoglycemia forms and management. Dr Donohue explains insulin overproduction causes low blood sugar and reactive hypoglycemia, endorsing a low carbohydrate, higher protein diet and notes on the Scripps Clinic.
James J. Kilpatrick argues that the Iran crisis will pass and urges the United States to seek respect, not love, by imposing grave consequences. He condemns weakness after the embassy seizure, calls for measured retaliation, and credits President Carter for patient handling while warning against token actions. He stresses strength, allied unity, and learning from events to avoid repetition.
Austin Nevada, once called The Town That Died Laughing, loses county services as mining business moves to Battle Mountain. The population shift, court ruling, and possible secession or county merger dominate local sentiment, with residents feeling pride and pocketbook impact. County officials cite long drives for records and juries as key costs.
Gandolfo cites Austin Nevada a mining boomtown of 1863 to 1865. The Lander County seat emerged in 1863 amid 7,000 residents, rowdy streets, and gunfire incidents as Silver and ore drew waves of migrants. The Reese River Reveille fueled mythic tales of the town’s fading boom.
