Glenn charged ahead: "Let me finish. I'm disgusted and tired of all the vague promises." Now Mondale got worked up. "Point of personal privilege!" he shouted. But Glenn would not yield: he blamed the Carter Administration for its "21% inter est rates" and declared, "That's why we lost the White House."

Charlotte Gardens is the project of a nonprofit local agency, the South Bronx Development Organization, which five years ago took on the burden of salvaging the neighborhood. Until recently the area was so celebrated a symbol of urban decay that Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan both traveled there to voice concern and promise federal assistance that never quite seemed to materialize.

His lower-level appointments of women do not match up numerically with Jimmy Carter's at a similar point in Administration--95 to 113 for posts needing Senate confirmation, 10 to 18 for Federal judgeships--but he made history by appointing Sandra Day O'Vonnor to the Supreme Court. Also, comparison with Carter amounts to comparison with probably the most progressive President in history...
