Editorial on FBI ethics and the Seberg case illustrated
An editorial argues the FBI acted unethically by fabricating a report about actress Jean Seberg in 1970 to undermine her public image. It condemns such calumny, cites J. Edgar Hoover's era, and welcomes the bureau’s current openness under Director William H. Webster while urging lasting reform.

Real estate deflation topic for analysts says Roger Bollen
In a commentary on housing as an asset class, Roger Bollen argues some analysts predict a housing price bubble bursting amid mixed signals. He notes that median existing home prices rose from 29,900 in 1978 to 57,900 in 1979, but questions whether this reflects inflation or a true bubble while considering refinancing trends and stock-market parallels.

Vance under fire over SALT II credibility questions
Washington critics charge Secretary of State Cyrus Vance with misstatements to Congress about SALT I and the Soviet launchers. CIA intel shows the USSR exceeded the 740 launcher limit by 1975, with dismantling delayed and promises unmet, yet Vance touted compliance in a Senate briefing. Reports warn the issue reflects broader enforcement failures and Cold War tensions.
