...loosening of its ties with Saudi Arabia, a country strongly committed to pan-Arab interests. To assure moderate Arab states of the U.S. dedication to a general Middle East settlement, Carter is dispatching a high-level delegation on a rush visit to Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Reflecting the broad geopolitical concerns of the U.S., the group is headed by National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and includes General David Jones, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. To dramatize his personal involvement, the President is sending his son Chip on the mission...
...that seem to support happiness may only confirm the insight ventured by turn-of-the-century Psychologist William James. "Life and its negation," wrote James, "are beaten up inextricably together. The two are equally essential facts of existence and all natural happiness thus seems infected with a contradiction." One broad contradiction that emerges from the happiness surveys is that, in spite of all the reports of the emptiness of modern life, relatively few people consider themselves very unhappy. On the contrary, an overwhelming majority of Americans (60% in one survey, 70% in another, 86% in a third) consider themselves reasonably...

The fact is that Brown's background in foreign affairs is just about as bare now as Carter's was before he became President. Brown hopes to start catching up, with crash tours of China, the Soviet Union, Israel and Western Europe...
Nothing is very precise in this business, but I think we've directed the center of our shows attitudinally at a younger marketplace. Younger is a very broad definition, by the way. We try to direct the main thrust to adults who are under a certain age bracket. But we also want to interrelate characters within those shows that appeal to segments on both ends. If you want to have a program, for example, whose heartbeat is to teenagers and adults under 50, you try to have elements within those shows that appeal to under-teenagers and people over...
