Cambria Mayor Roy Adams and five village trustees donate their salaries to the village fund, a plan totaling 1540 by next April to be used for public interest. The piece praises the act as noble but cautions about potential downsides including financial barriers to public office and competitive effects on salaries.
A Sangamon County grand jury indicted a Chicago woman for bribery to sway an Illinois legislator on ERA. The piece argues against condemning ERA backers due to one offense, notes Reagan opposes ERA while Thompson supports it, and warns ERA adoption could be inflationary as wages align with men’s pay. It urges measured judgment and political pragmatism.
A Goreville reader tới editor criticizes ERA coverage, arguing ERA originated in 1972 and faced state votes, noting Nevada and Florida ballot outcomes. The letter questions public support, contrasts front page focus on pro ERA and six years of victories by opponents, and ends with a jab at press silence.
Russell Baker contrasts Young Old and Aging Fast with playful vignettes on marriage gender roles memory and culture. It juxtaposes concerns from Nixon era to modern preoccupations referencing Joan and John, the Beatles, SDS, Charlie angels Farrah Fawcett and Warner Baxter.
In Caldwell Idaho two College of Idaho students heard John B Anderson praised for talking about real issues. The piece notes the 1980 campaign lacks a clear blueprint for administration and that Anderson, Carter, Reagan and Kennedy offer general ideas rather than specific programs. Anderson emphasizes solving problems over detailing proposals and plans to form task forces to spell out proposals later. He aims to run a principled, thematic campaign and to win petitions to appear on the November ballot.
The piece notes Anderson draws from a narrow, educated, affluent, suburban, white collar, politically independent base. It compares his early polling to George Wallace's 1968 rise, showing Anderson already hitting or surpassing Wallace's peak in some surveys, while needing to broaden his coalition beyond blank spots in states he has not yet campaigned in.
