Canal Locks Over Sea Level Preferred by Americans
The piece argues against a sea level Panama Canal, favoring a lock system though sea level would be preferable if conditions permit. It questions French capability and funding, asserts US capacity to complete the project, and warns that costs and time are underestimated. It also advocates licensing and penalties to curb pistol carry amid rising gun violence by whites and blacks, with risk to officers.
