They oppose a gallery devoted to one commercial artist at public expense.

The piece links his 1971 release from prison, Nixon time frame, and control of Detroit Local 299 to his bid for power within the Teamsters International.

In a public letter, JayE F. Dyer and peers from Dyco Petroleum McCulloch Oil Amarex May Petroleum and others argue against divestiture proposals in Congress. They contend the oil sector is highly competitive with thousands of firms and warn that breaking up majors would raise prices, disrupt distribution, and weaken energy security. The note asserts no monopoly evidence and highlights efficiency of large integrated firms.

Arctic strip mining idea dismissed as folly and waste
Edward Flatta argues the $276000 federal study on Arctic strip mining is unfounded and likely advances a corporate agenda to build massive energy complexes on Alaska's North Slope. He cites permafrost damage, difficult reclamation, ecological risks, and abundant Appalachia coal as reasons to reject the plan as impractical and harmful. A Congress debate on Alaska’s wilderness is looming.
