Ford or Reagan: A Newtonian View of a GOP Contest
The piece weighs Ford and Reagan as Republican contenders with Reagan leading in delegates after ten days of campaigning. It cites Reagan's anti Washington stance, strong defense stance, and campaign style as strengths, while Ford’s restraint and veto record are viewed as missed opportunities. The author maintains Ford on the first ballot but concedes the lead has narrowed to a guess.

Senate Kissinger SALT debate stalls amid hard line amendments
Sen. Alan Cranston’s bid to back Kissinger’s détente with the Soviet Union failed as critics added tough conditions. The amended resolution asserts US strength, demands Cuba’s withdrawal from Africa, rejects Baltic annexations, and seeks reduced military competition with Moscow while maintaining deterrence. Humphrey and Bartlett comment on the rhetoric.
