Businessmen were generally angry, however, about Carter's decision to abandon the proposed increases in the investment tax credit. Many of them believe that higher credits are the best way to ensure full economic recovery. Said William Shesky, president of the Bostonian Shoe Co.: "The real approach to attacking inflation is through the private sector, by increasing productivity." But interviews by TIME correspondents across the country indicated that businessmen probably would have continued to mistrust Carter in any event. One reason: many businessmen fear that he will turn out to be a big-spending liberal in spite of his conservative...
...this special way. Carter and his people are isolated -not from the American TV audience, not from the events of family and community, but from the Government which they have come to run.

"By 1985 more than 40% of total domestic production must come from new discoveries or enhanced recovery projects." Bower was pessimistic about the outlook for domestic...
...decades doctors have been battling the parasitic disease with the few available drugs, usually arsenic compounds. At the same time, local and international agencies have waged campaigns to eradicate tsetse flies, the bloodsucking insects that transmit the ailment to domestic cattle and man. Neither approach has been particularly successful. Trypanosomiasis still casts its shadow over 35 million people who live in the heart of tropical Africa, the tsetse fly's breeding ground, making huge areas all but uninhabitable...
