More recently, Vance privately displayed some uncustomary anger in the neutron bomb flap. He "went through five roofs," reports an aide, when other advisers pressured Carter to counter a partly inaccurate New York Times report that the President had decided against production of the weapon by immediately announcing that he had resolved only to postpone production. Vance argued for a week's delay in which to brief affected NATO allies. He was given only a few days, but it was time enough to get out advance word and limit the diplomatic damage...
...build this movement in a multi-racial manner, because it's not the white man who oppresses us. We must place the minority struggle in a broader economic context. Bakke just happened to be the incident that sparked it." It's hard, trying to channel 20,000 people's anger at an economic abstraction rather than at something concrete like Bakke supporters. But even if the economic analysis produces less immediate gratification than does empassioned rhetoric, it may well prove the best result-getter in the long...
...different, just a little better than you'd bargained for. You want to believe in this movement. But you know how touchy The System is about acknowledging its more painful economic realities.

...thing that decidedly will not be in the program is any rollback of giant Social Security tax increases already legislated to take effect beginning next year. The House Democratic caucus voted last week to press for a reduction -mostly out of simple fear of voter anger, but also on the well-justified philosophical ground that the tax is inflationary (it will raise businessmen's payroll costs, and the increase will be passed on in higher prices). Carter, however, just does not want to reopen the subject. He told congressional leaders last week that doing so would be "a very...
This private truth has made Greenfeld more sensitive to our common human feelings than most American men would choose to be. In spite of this his diary is never sentimental, self-pitying or gratuitously bitter. His anger at medical and educational bureaucracies, even at a fate that has dealt him what he calls "the joker in the bourgeois deck," is always tempered by stoic irony. "Instead of being a driven writer," he notes, "I have become a driving writer." Entry for Sept. 22, 1976, two days after Greenfeld's play I Have a Dream opened to rave reviews...
