...loud, bitter, angry. The denunciations of Reagan will be echoed endlessly by Carter and other Democratic orators throughout the fall. Carried too far, the personal attacks might backfire and make Reagan a sympathetic figure. The G.O.P., meanwhile, will be characterizing the President's tenure in the White House as 3?? years of blundering incompetence. Says one Carter aide: "This campaign is going to be very messy, horribly bruising...
...worst of Carter, the President. Rarely in the past 3?? years have we seen the President so focused and eloquent on a problem?a problem that never should have been, and even now should be relegated to the lawyers who love to niggle. In a world that is stalled and frightened, with only a handful of men and women wielding the power to address the malaise, Jimmy Carter, as so often in his stewardship, confused his personal and political concerns with his larger duties as President.

Those relations fell off a cliff when Jimmy Carter became President. Looking back over the past 3?? years, Soviets launch into a long, angry, but obviously one-sided litany of grievances: the President's letter to dissident Physicist Andrei Sakharov barely three weeks into Carter's presidency; Carter's ill-fated ?and ill-considered?opening move in SALT, which would have required drastic reductions...
