Longtime leader Dr John LaSalle McMahon retires after 32 years as president of Alamo City Our Lady of the Lake College. He led the school from 371 to 2561 students, helped shape local civic life, and plans volunteer work after stepping down at year end. The farewell banquet at Turtle Creek Country Club will feature Rep Gonzalez and Heer, with John Tracy Ellis and Rabbi David Jacobson among organizers and speakers.
The fragment presents a philosophical note on generational gift and accountability, citing Hortense V. Gonzales in a reference to death by own action or aggravated assault, and a mention of Charles Densford in Pipe Creek. The text blends moral exhortation with questionable phrases and unnamed events.
A reader challenges the MAUC and its use of Mexican identity terms. The letter questions who claimed major credit for organizing, and why the name MAUC was used when some find the word Mexican offensive. It argues against embracing the term Chicano and urges sensitivity to the word Mexican.
A frustrated writer critiques a letter that blames guns for widespread harm claiming 11,000 murders and 92,000 aggravated assaults by firearms. He proposes a provocative bet with a collector’s gun to test the danger narrative, insisting the weapon be left unattended for a week in a reception room.

In a Washington Star-News front page, March 1 report says Nevada and North Carolina became the 10th and 31st states to oppose the ERA. Nevada Senate defeat was 16 to 4, with the lone woman senator Helen Herr voting against it, arguing it would undermine the family.
The piece argues federal authority has grown due to public demand for Social Security unemployment benefits and civil rights, while criticizing state and local governments as less capable. It notes Nixon’s defense of federal leadership, questions political virtue at the bottom, and highlights voter attention to national offices over local ones.
The piece compares nationalization in Great Britain’s gas, rail, transport, schools and hospitals with France debating industrial democracy. It warns of inflation, labor strife, and a potential election as Heath resists wage rises, questioning how a democracy enforces work when unions resist and courts order a return to work.
The piece argues socialism fails in practice, cites England's high unemployment, and notes in America unemployment exists but is moderate. It highlights a San Francisco example where a small-truck driver costs $21,874 annually to employers while the driver nets $14,359, attributing the gap to government taxes borne by both sides.
In a sharp political aside a commentator notes President Nixon’s plan to limit federal bureaucrats and tighten control over liberal opponents, framing the approach as a practical response to the election. The piece implies a broader strategy of decisive leadership and political leverage during the campaign period.
The health column discusses the Vitamin C debate during its peak last year. It notes physicians and scientists often took sides on Pauling's views for treating the common cold and the polarized discourse surrounding his stance.
A Nobel Prize chemist argues Vitamin C can aid medical knowledge and defend against colds.

Further large trials are planned and doctors should be consulted before high-dose use.
