During a series of visits with federal bureaucrats, Carter wowed Labor Department workers by taking off his suit coat, rolling up his sleeves and declaring: "Just because I am President and because you work for the Federal Government and hold even an exalted job, that doesn't make you any better than the unemployed American in Dallas, Texas, that you serve...
What is particularly ludicrous, however, is that we are asked to make this sacrifice for the sake of tradition. Just as the University has seen fit to abolish other anachronistic traditions which intrude on the life styles of its students (like coat and tie rules, mandatory chapel, and single-sex dormitories--traditions which are probably even older than the bells), it should cease the preposterous practice of waking people up at 8:40 a.m. for no reason...

On the assumption that the 8:30 a.m. train to town will be a late, late show, the well-booted suburbanite may be wise to invest in the commuter's equivalent of a mink coat: Eddie Bauer's Eskimo-designed, nylon and cotton Superior Polar Parka with hood ruff of natural coyote fur ("comfort range -70° to 50° above") for only...

Although his staff is a shirtsleeves-style crew, Carter has so far worked in a coat and tie, forgoing the sweaters and blue jeans that were his pre-Inaugural uniform in Plains. To ward off the chill, Carter usually sits in an apricot-colored wing chair near a crackling fire. His first appointment every morning, at 8, is with Brzezinski. The only other regular appointment...
