...almost military in nature. Except when they are working in the fields (usually about three hours a day), the youths are dressed in blue uniforms with red kerchiefs and red berets, the standard garb of Cuba's own "young pioneers." The students are roused at 6 a.m., take breakfast (typically ham, bread and milk) in carefully ordered sittings at the school's mess hall. They are held responsible for the neatness of their dorms, which are crowded with double-decker bunks; each student has shelves by his bed to store books and clothing...
MAYBE IT WAS the way President Parker, her husband Tom, and Rush enjoyed being photographed cozily eating breakfast around the president's kitchen table. Maybe it was the His and Hers T-shirts that she and Rush wore around campus and at the office. But if, as professor Camille Pagila once commented, "At Bennington, you can do it with the dogs and no one cares," then Bennington students, faculty and trustees must have had other reasons for demanding the ouster of college President Gail Thain Parker in 1976.

Shortly past 8 a.m. on the first Friday of the 1980s, Wanda Paruch leaves her house on McDougall Avenue in Hamtramck, Mich., and sets out on the five-minute drive to work.

Three weeks ago, at a White House breakfast with foreign policy experts, Jimmy Carter asked his guests whether they thought young Americans should once again be required to register for the draft-though not necessarily be drafted. To Carter's surprise, practically everybody at the table, from George Ball to Eugene Rostow, said yes. Until then, the President had opposed a resumption of registration, but he found himself swayed by the arguments of his breakfast colleagues. As he worked on his State of the Union address at Camp David, Carter decided to include an announcement that the Selective Service...
Some long-delayed parts of Carter's energy program began coming back to life too. At a White House breakfast, House Speaker Thomas P. ("Tip") O'Neill told Carter that a $227 billion windfall profits tax on oil companies-designated by the President as his No. 1 legislative priority-should be on his desk for signature sometime this week. Other important energy bills, O'Neill promised, will be passed and sent to the President by March 1. Included: establishment of an Energy Mobilization Board to speed fuel-producing projects, and of an Energy Security Corp. to spur...
