The editorial page casts 1971 as a year of transition marked by China’s reentry, Vietnam War changes, 18 year old voting, and economic shifts. It notes global unrest, disillusionment with institutions, and new environmental and population causes, balanced by hope and progress through youth activism and renewed faith in the human spirit.
A satirical 1972 note mocks fears of population decline citing exaggerated statistics on U.S. birth rates and single women. It parodies Malthusian theory, lampoons birth control crusades, and urges public campaigns and “Think of mankind, honey, and give your ail” style slogans.
The piece argues for state legislation to empower cities to amortize non conforming uses, require builders to donate land for schools, and plan beyond city limits. It contends lobbies block reform but urges action to control growth and preserve quality of life. It notes other states succeed with similar measures.
In a Dec 15 Manhattan dinner with 25 Democratic financiers, Sen. Muskie argued that both the United States and the Soviet Union share responsibility for the arms race. He cautioned against new weapons programs and noted his votes to cut or limit several major defense projects.
The letter from DAVID D. SUNDSTROM of Phoenix commends the City of Scottsdale for leading in bikeway provision. It lauds safe riding spaces and the health welfare impact, and hopes other Arizona cities will follow Scottsdale's example.
New York business and civic leaders including Lewis Rudin and Robert Wagner back ABNY to repair the city’s image amid jokes about New York. They cite urban crime and cleanliness efforts by Operation Clean Sweep and urge accurate coverage from national media. The Progress invites letters to the editor with name and address for verification.
