An opinion urging action on the abandoned old J C Penney site in uptown Butte. The piece condemns 16 months of neglect by the property owner Jeffrey Granger and city officials for failing to enforce cleanup and proposes using the new public nuisance ordinance to compel removal and repurposing the site as a parking lot.
A reader letter argues the ACLU is a partisan liberal group that now seeks to set aside Watergate convictions and redraw indictments to include higher ups possibly including President Nixon. The piece notes past justice in Estes and Baker cases but claims the ACLU would not have supported overturning those convictions.
In Butte two manslaughter and murder cases hinge on whether statements from suspects during tape and video interviews constitute confessions or mere admissions. Judge Freebourn ruled Holmes's remarks were admissions, not confessions, prompting an appeal. Smith's rights and Miranda card issue raise questions of competence, voluntariness, and admissibility of taped evidence under Archie Warwick standards.
A Baltimore Sun piece from 1973 surveys Montana’s air and land tension as coal plants rise near Colstrip and pollution debates mount.

Amid the energy crunch and rising fuel costs, buyers nationwide push for smaller, more fuel efficient cars. Industry leaders like GM defend safety and emission gains, while Congress weighs proposed taxes and stricter fuel economy standards slated for 1976 through 1978.
The piece critiques the pomp surrounding presidential ceremonies under Nixon, comparing White House pageantry to monarchy and noting it distracts from democratic ideals.
