Women's increasingly active involvement in the professions may counteract any negative feelings about Radcliffe's "loss of identity," Harding said...
...Roots, accompanies our cover story. Marmon, whose own roots were in the South, finds that he too has "rattling around in my head some near-biblical family stories told and retold by my grandmother." Like many white Southerners, Marmon chafed against the "distorting experience" of segregation and, to help counteract it, wrote his senior thesis at Princeton on the Harlem renaissance of the 1920s.

Advisers to Democrat Jimmy Carter think that will not be enough to counteract the shortfall. TIME has learned that several of his economists are recommending tax cuts or new federal spending for early next year, should their man win-a tack encouraged in part by the Republican underspending...
