Playing and preying on the insecurity of individuals, the GOP seeks to capitalize on Carter's numerous mistakes and broken promises. But in riding the crest of this wave to Washington, the Republicans risk swamping America's future. These are the politics of reaction, short-term quick-fixes made all the more attractive by a bumbling president who has himself sought to react to Patrick Cadell's latest survey. As Sen. Robert J. Dole (R-Kan.) said this week, "We couldn't have done it without Jimmy Carter...

One defiant oldtimer, Harry Truman, 83, operator of the Mount St. Helens Lodge less than two miles from the crater, said he would stick...
...singles and albums on their home turf. Now the records have been receiving an encouraging amount of FM air play here, while Specials and Madness concerts around America have been enthusiastically attended by disenfranchised new wavers and punks without portfolio. Ska may or may not be the latest crest of the new wave, but it is at least clear that the Specials and Madness could safely join in a proud chorus of Stranger Cole's 1963 ska tune, We Are Rolling...
