Carter's prospects brighten on the issues. Even though various polls have shown a conservative trend in America, people do not seem to have changed their minds substantially on bread-and-butter matters. Inflation is still seen as a predominant concern. But more voters place the creation of jobs (51%) ahead of curbing inflation even at the risk of continued high unemployment (43%) as the country's top priority. A Government guarantee of a job for everyone who wants to work is supported 56%-37%. Such a majority suggests that Ford either does not have a surefire issue...
...Financial Accounting Standards Board (F.A.S.B.), a body set up by the industry itself, has been setting out consensus guidelines for accountants to follow. The SEC, which watches over corporate financial statements, had generally been content to let accountants follow any methods that they themselves chose. But since the creation of the F.A.S.B. in 1973, the SEC has promulgated rules that in effect require auditors to follow the standards laid down by the F.A.S.B. or demonstrate a good reason why they should...

The first installment of the New Media Bible, as it is called, consists of ten 20-minute segments covering Genesis 1-22 (from the Creation to Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac) and Luke 1-2 (the Annunciation, the Nativity and Jesus' youth). They were filmed in the sere landscape of the Holy Land and neighboring areas, using largely unknown actors. One exception: Topol, the Israeli star of Hollywood's Fiddler on the Roof, who portrays Abraham...
...film the story of Noah? Heyman opted for a sketchy style of animation, with surrealistic clouds and waves, and cartoon rabbits and lions clambering aboard the ark. The budget did not permit construction of the ark nor the assembling of all God's creatures. For the Creation story, Heyman wove together spectacular color footage of the sun and stars, flowing lava, beasts on the Kenya highlands and fish and flora along an ocean floor. In Eden, Adam and Eve are discreetly nude, and without navels. Heyman insists that he will film every jot and tittle...
