...expedition, even though Vance defended it in public. During last year's presidential campaign, Carter said he would not travel abroad in his first year in office. Yet he had already attended the London summit in May, and here he was preparing to plunge into a grab bag of nations (Brazil, Venezuela, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, India, Iran, France, Poland and Belgium) with little hope of emerging with a common theme or coherent message.

...American farm belt, homemade signs are sprouting up faster than soybeans in June. They are posted on idle tractors, trucks and combines, on the sides of barns and the walls of farm cooperative offices. NO DEAL, NO MEAL, they proclaim. Or NO PAY, NO HAY. Or FOR YOUR NEXT BAG OF SUGAR, CALL FIDEL. Blunt and pithy, they capture perfectly the mood of America's angry, embattled farmers...
