Editorials Notes from all over By DON GRAFF
Editorial notes discuss killer bees from Brazil, their spread and interbreeding with local bees, resulting in milder yet still industrious hybrids. Intermixing has reduced fatalities, and beekeeping methods include white protective clothing. The piece questions if Americans should worry as global tensions persist.

Inflation pressures redefine American dreams and savings
AP analysis notes high energy costs shift preferences from mansions to smaller homes and large cars to compact models. Families dip into credit and savings as inflation erodes real wages. Economists warn productivity must rise to lift living standards, but capital for investment is scarce and saving remains weak. Some futurists advocate curbing material wants to escape the impasse.

Archaeologists in Egypt uncovered Roman era amphorae over six gallons capacity, with massed discarded plugs attached by strings. The plugs, sealed with paint, suggest an early standardized bulk shipment system and a notable step toward modern marketing. Deposits on amphorae remain uncertain.

Brown’s wavering bid for the 1980 Democratic nomination
California Governor Jerry Brown faces a rocky start to the 1980 campaign. A belated Iowa push, a canceled debate, and a patchy grass roots setup hamper his bid amid strong GOP and Democratic opposition. California issues test his leadership as Lt. Gov.

U. S. Ardent Sanctions Edge Iran Yet Iran Quietly Surges Ahead
The Carter administration vows to go it alone after a Soviet veto blocks a UN embargo on Iran, but internal analyses show Iran has reduced trade sharply and could weather unilateral U.S. measures. Iran’s 1978 imports of machinery and electric gear dwarfs 1979 nine month totals, while food and oil dynamics complicate any embargo. Also profiled are NRC’s Three Mile Island liability ruling and a lighthearted pajama sketch of Treasury Secretary Miller.
