Will Americans respond to Carter energy plea
Editorial argues public response to President Carter’s energy plan is uncertain and varied. It notes past vague compliance during oil crises, questions effectiveness of price rises, and urges conserving while pursuing three goals: reduce consumption, boost domestic oil, and develop alternatives. Cooperation and leadership could curb energy costs and aid inflation.

Tony Lib Liberatore’s rise and police death case in Cleveland
Anthony Liberatore, once condemned as a youth to an electric chair for a 1937 murder, rose to power in Cleveland politics and labor, later facing indictment in the Danny Greene case. His path from squalor to authority included parole, a gubernatorial pardon, and a seat on the Cleveland Sewer Board before new charges brought scrutiny and doubt.

Carter fears push to use force over Arab oil
Pentagon strategists worry over President Carter's reluctance to deploy military power to safeguard Persian Gulf oil. They describe oil embargo pressure as economic warfare and warn that Arab leaders like Yassir Arafat favor cutting off U.S. oil. Critics label Carter inconsistent after delayed Gulf action and Saudi distrust grows as Kissinger-style options fade.

Peace deal shifts Middle East power toward Begin and Moscow
The Israel Egypt agreement signed in Washington on March 23 is seen as the opposite of Carter’s comprehensive settlement plan. Begin’s diplomacy with Sadat sidelined the Geneva framework, leaving Moscow free to court Arab oil powers while Washington remains tied to Egypt and Israel. Gromyko’s Damascus visit signals renewed Soviet outreach as the oil-rich Arabs gain leverage.

No dirty cash for Congress
Washington reports reveal lawmakers enjoy perks that shield them from inflation. The House bank feeds only fresh bills, while perks include discounted services, free parking, gym access, and office plants. They face no social security deductions and can vote raises. Senate raises lifted outside income caps, adding potential tens of thousands. A tax deduction plan would offset Washington costs, retroactively updating benefits since 1952.
