James Reston summarizes President Carter's State of the Union as quietly eloquent with a domestic focus. He notes the speech emphasizes planning over crisis, but faces a Congress habituated to crisis management and public indifference to detailed proposals amidst television distractions.
The piece argues Chicago’s urban schools fail disadvantaged students like Carlos, costing taxpayers through crime, welfare, and higher costs, while urging expanded state aid despite tax pressures. It contrasts federal money targets with urban district limits and links education to broad national policy tensions, noting President Carter’s address reveals conflict with Congress over leadership and energy reform.
In late 1960s and early 1970s engineers fearing floods and cost proposed a huge airport for the region. Illinois created the St Louis Metropolitan Area Airport Authority to move the St Louis airport from Missouri. The authority, led by Arven Saunders from January 1, 1971, reportedly wasted over $4 million of Illinois taxpayers’ money chasing relocation.
Emil C Hartman of Waterloo argues that funds from the Illinois site favored for a second St. Louis airport were wasted and that Missouri authorities, with Lambert Airport enhancements, can serve the region for decades. He lauds Transportation Secretary Brock Adams for opposing the Illinois plan and supporting a Missouri solution.
Bert Lance, former Carter administration budget director, has been hired by ABC in Atlanta as a television commentator and potential consumer advocate. The piece notes his bank affiliations and past scrutiny, suggesting his insights could boost ratings while offering caution about his influence on coverage and consumer advice.
