The piece argues Somerset Maugham's life and fiction reveal a path from emotional bondage to liberated living. It notes his cynical storytelling, the tenderness behind his urban veneer, and the lasting influence of his works in guiding readers toward breaking hearts to find a freer, more humorous world.
An alarmed woman phoned police when a man with a gun held a hostage, but it proved to be two teens playing army with an extremely realistic toy pistol. The piece urges toy makers to avoid ultra realistic designs to prevent mistaking toys for real firearms.
A Long Beach editorial notes Pec 7 as a day of victory for law and justice after the City Council overruled the Planning Commission to deny a permit for six substandard units in an A-2 zone. It cites other national and local remarks on justice, freedom, and moral progress.
Francois Mitterrand aged 49 challenges Charles de Gaulle in a Sunday runoff as a leftist backed by the French Communist Party. A veteran of the Free French, he led wartime prisoner efforts and helped found reformist groups. He sits in Parliament from Nievre and is known for rapid speaking in person though TV coverage of him has been uneven.
A collection of notes citing Galatians 6:5 and Psalms 27:3 alongside quotes from John Fitzgerald Kennedy and William James. The lines emphasize bearing burdens, recognizing true steadiness in winter or war, courage under pressure, and confidence in doubtful undertakings.
Sacramento reports focus on Lt. Gov. Glenn M. Anderson and the McCone Commission findings on the Watts riots. The panel faults Anderson for delaying National Guard action, fueling debate among capitol insiders about his political resilience and public duties.
James McCauley notes acting Gov. Anderson delayed calling out 856 guardsmen during Watts rioting, defended by prudence amid political risk. History shows California leaders cautious after 1930s maritime strike. Speculation ties Anderson to a federal post or 1986 lieutenant governor bid as Brown seeks reelection.
The 43rd year of our lightning campaign to drive Viet Nam guerrillas from West Whining faces a surprise 12 hour Christmas Eve truce proposal. President reacts grimly at an NSC emergency session to decide whether to accept the pause.
A satirical recount of a presidential escalation tale where a truce joke spirals into a global holiday war. Leaders volley Christmas and other holidays as weapons while the nation braces for peace amid absurdities and a long conflict ending after 43 years.
The article argues that over the past two decades the White House has gained indirect powers through contracting stockpiles and defense budgets. These tools let the president influence prices, profits, wages, hiring, and even which firms grow or fail. It warns of potential misuse to target communities or pressure unions and affect antitrust actions or tax considerations.
