Opinion: NASA UFO probe not required
A newspaper editorial argues against a new NASA inquiry into UFOs, noting the 1969 file closure after 22 years, lack of verifiable evidence, and potential wasteful bureaucracy. The piece urges focus on planetary exploration and acknowledges possible but unproven extraterrestrial visitors. It questions secret experiments and praises NASA’s openness to reports without a full probe.

CIA plotted to form own hit squad for foreign leaders
CIA officials discussed recruiting Mafia gunmen to kill global targets at a fee of 1 million dollars per operation. Former narcotics chief Charles Siragusa recalled a 1960 Washington talk proposing Mafia torpedoes for standby assassinations, which he rejected as too dangerous. He also described CIA plans for a safe house in Greenwich Village and failed Havana rescue attempts, with later Senate scrutiny referenced.

Washington notes on Carter era tax and foreign policy shifts
Washington officials grumble over G William Miller replacing Arthur Burns as Federal Reserve chair viewing it as cosmetic. Vance's fate remains unclear with Brzezinski unlikely as successor. Analysts see Moscow losing influence in Egypt Israel talks as Syria and PLO fear sidelining. An economist says inflation may stay above 6 percent in 1978 while some tax and unemployment reforms could ease costs.
