Study delays push back Winchester court facilities project
The Winchester-Frederick County Joint Court Facilities Committee proposes a new six to seven area study adding 7 000 to 10 000 dollars in costs on top of 15 000 city and 30 000 county already spent. The six to twelve month delay jeopardizes the 1980 completion goal cited by Judge Robert Woltz and raises questions about whether aging buildings or new construction offers better value amid inflation.

Central American Dominos Fall as Cuba and Nicaragua Align
Rowland Evans and Robert Novak report that Sandinista control in Nicaragua and Cuban Soviet reinforcement signal a broader shift in Central America. Cuban intelligence links to the Sandinistas, Soviet brigade presence in Cuba, and Cuba's pledge to aid El Salvador and Guatemala are cited as evidence of rising Soviet Cuban influence in the region. Carter administration policy is contrasted with calls for a tougher stance.

Psychiatry: Crime's Accomplice in the White Case
Thomas Szasz argues that Dan White’s first degree murder conviction was driven by psychiatric justifications rather than law. He critiques expert testimony and the role of psychiatrists in political murder cases, calling for accountability from journalists and critics. He notes White’s sane diagnosis despite execution style killings of Moscone and Milk.
