...Administration had some reason for its caution. Carter's advisers stressed that their program had to be credible; they would recommend only the spending cuts that they had some assurance Congress could accept. That ruled out any immediate major cuts in the most voracious tax-eaters: the major "entitlement" programs, such as Social Security ($117.9 billion), veterans' benefits ($20.8 billion) and unemployment compensation ($15.6 billion). And Administration officials stressed that there has been no final decision on anything, and will not be until shortly before the President makes a major economic-policy speech, possibly this week-though even...
...Banisadr. That was still a long way from saying that the hostages would be released immediately, though it sounded like the best news the U.S. had heard from Tehran since the hostages were seized more than four months ago. But the Carter Administration reacted to the announcement with extreme caution-and, as it turned out, the caution was amply justified...
Still, even the scientists involved in the latest tests continue to urge caution. In a New England Journal editorial, Dr. Robert Hoover, who reported the National Cancer Institute results, notes that the tests showed only that saccharin had not caused any of the current bladder tumors in patients. Because the sweetener has been in widespread use only since the 1960s, it could have still undiscovered long-range carcinogenic effects on the bladder and other organs.

...with U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, then slipped away again. At the U.N. and in West European capitals, normally accessible diplomats became uncharacteristically secretive. Washington buzzed with rumors, but the White House banned all official speculation, and Jimmy Carter urged the nation "to guard against excessive optimism." Though such caution was certainly warranted, there was mounting evidence from all quarters that the long, cruel ordeal might finally be coming to an end for the 50 Americans being held hostage by militant Iranian youths at the U.S. embassy in Tehran and the three Americans being detained at the Foreign Ministry...
...Urging caution on "the thin ice of modern life," Waters' lyrical ankles do a lot of wobbling before he is indicted, some 75 minutes into the record, on charges of fecklessness, savagery and numbness. The presiding magistrate, a worm, sentences the singer to "be exposed before/ Your peers/ Tear down the wall." Lysergic Sturm und Drang like this has a direct kind of kindergarten appeal, especially if it is orchestrated like a cross between a Broadway overture and a band concert on the starship Enterprise. It is likely, indeed, that The Wall is succeeding more for the sonic sauna...
