...Carter's style of leading that may be at the heart of the problem. Although he is Chief of State of the world's most powerful nation, he seems more comfortable wearing his famed cardigan than the mantle of presidential leadership. Perhaps in an attempt to avoid the trappings and pitfalls of the imperial presidency, Carter has been too reluctant to assert himself, to lean on people, to operate, in a sense, with the ruffles and flourishes that this one job of all in the U.S. may demand. As admirable a trait as this may be in many...

TIME correspondents around the nation turned up more indications that for the time being, at least, Americans are taken with Carter's downhome, cardigan style. Even the West, which went overwhelmingly for Ford last November, is now warming to the President. Says Karen Stone, a housewife active in Democratic Party politics in Pacific Palisades, Calif: "There is something I'm beginning to like about Carter. The low-keyed, anti-folderol approach. I still mistrust his Baptist fundamentalist upbringing and the whole thing about his being a Southerner. But I must admit the accent is bothering me less than...
