SST lingered as Congress blocks American SST revival
A year after Congress abandoned an American supersonic transport, there is little chance of revival yet industry eyes a second generation. NASA continues limited work on aerodynamics structures and materials while experts move to foreign programs or face unemployment. Some engineers doubt congressional fate and optimism remains among supporters.

Trouble for Busing Ban Delays divide Nixon on desegregation
Washington reports House conservatives mainly from the South balk at Nixon’s proposed school busing moratorium. Rep. Joe Waggonner Jr and Rep. Fletcher Thompson call it too little and too late while a White House survey shows 34 of 50 desegregation cases could trigger court ordered busing in the South if the moratorium fails. A discharge petition seeks a constitutional amendment, yet ratification would come long after the election. Kissinger explains Rogers exclusion from a Nixon Mao meeting.

Tide Turns on River Wreck Lessons for Sin
A wartime engineer frees a sunken ship by tying a flat boat and letting the rising tide do the work. The tale becomes a spiritual parable: human effort alone cannot remove sin. Only surrender to God can lift the derelicts from within.
