A Detroit report considers building cars with a 20 year life by using stainless steel or aluminum bodies and fewer major parts. Yet critics warn such obsolescence would disrupt the economy and that Americans still trade in cars for new looks and features. The piece notes VW’s Beetle redesigns and questions whether a longer life would curb consumption or energy use.
A parable-like tale contrasts Jack and George from the same neighborhood. Jack, frugal and ambitious, ascends to a large lakefront home and Europe trips while George falls into unemployment and hardship. The Great Gods redistribute wealth, defending social programs yet provoking a reckoning for Jack as his son earns a sociology doctorate.
A satirical blasting of a National Academy of Sciences coal study mocks doomsday forecasts. It argues carbon dioxide traps heat, could raise tropical temperatures by 10 degrees and northern latitudes by 30, melt icecaps, flood cities, and alter seas while noting some possible plant gains. The piece ends with a punchline about asking for lunch with thirty feet of rope.
The Providence Journal-Bulletin questions a Coast Guard two week Pacific junket for a senior officer and 23 travelers. Government flight costs exceed 18000 dollars while visits span 12 islands and cities including Tokyo Manila Seoul and Hong Kong with awards for foreign lines. Critics urge immediate reimbursement of travel and lodging expenses to curb taxpayer waste.
Washington reports a sweeping probe into major universities over misused federal research funds. Harvard charged $132,349.39 improperly and agreed to fix bookkeeping as HEW audits expand to other schools and grants.

A four month clash between Jewish leaders and HEW secretary Joseph Califano escalates as the Carter administration leans toward supporting quotas in the Bakke Supreme Court challenge.
