...that seemed to have Carter saying that their desires for the future were carnal. Presidential Press Secretary Jody Powell indicated a relaxed White House attitude with the crack that Carter "only lusts after Poles in his heart." Similarly, Carter's unwittingly public criticism of Desai for refusing to accept U.S. conditions on the purchase of uranium did not offend the Indian leader. Oddly enough, the episode proved a political plus for both men: it showed Desai's countrymen that he had not bowed to the U.S. President, and it also demonstrated to Americans that Carter means business...
...over Carter's insistence that India must be ready to comply with a law that Congress is expected to pass requiring on-site inspection of any nuclear materials the U.S. sells to other nations.

McCann says these grants alone show the federal and the state government accept the Wamponoags as a tribe...
...symptom of a widespread cultural arrogance and intolerance that emerged all too clearly in this trial. The trial itself, more than the jury's inconclusive decision, demonstrated how difficult the attainment of judicial impartiality is in a society biased toward a cultural norm many groups cannot understand or accept...
