...from accepting any blame for the drift in Washington, Carter called on the public to complain to Congress. "The American people are beginning to feel that their own Government can't deal adequately with crucial issues, like inflation and like energy," said Carter, just as though he had little part in that Government. Until the public gets aroused, he added, "we're going to have difficulty in Washington getting action taken...
...years later, the lessons of that spring could not be more to the point. A great deal has happened in the decade since that strike, and so it is easy enough to let the message of that time slip out of our minds. Most members of the current senior class were, after all, only in the sixth grade when then-President Nathan M.

Alfred Sumberg, executive director of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) says the legislation is "not watered down, but realistic in terms of what's possible." Nevertheless, lobbying on the bills has been intense and a great deal of money and manpower--$1.4 billion in programs, 16,000 employees--is at stake. More than a simple victory (or defeat) for Carter, the fate of "his department" threatens to redefine the pecking order among organizations and individuals concerned with all levels of education in the United States...
