...startled President laughed heartily, but the burlesque was not entirely a joke. What confronted Jimmy Carter last week as he returned to Washington from the glittering pomp of his talks with Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and the economic summit in Bonn was the harsh fact that his presidency is in deep trouble. His Oval Office In box was overflowing with problems: mounting inflation, the energy deadlock, the failure of tax reform, the Turkish arms embargo, the chill in relations with the Soviet Union. There was even an embarrassing furor over the discovery that White House Health Adviser Dr. Peter Bourne...
...reluctant to fire those who may have served him well in his campaign but have demonstrated limited ability at the national level. (No Administration in recent memory has been so close to the mid-term mark with so few significant personnel changes as Carter's has.) Finally, his deep moralism and evangelistic background at times seem to have persuaded him that it is enough to preach the good word or introduce the good program without having to follow through with hard political pressures...
Dear Inspector--A delightful, if not too deep, French film about a female detective, a big-ass murder case, and an incipient love affair.

And Clayburgh, although she does go through a deep, soul-searching experience with a fashionable, female, Manhattan shrink after her husband leaves her, really doesn't find happiness until she finds Alan Bates. And Annie Girardot, who fits neither of these categories, instead idiotically bounces back, and forth between career, children, and lover, in that order, making not much sense...
Some of the riskiest gambling anywhere is not in Atlantic City, N.J., but in a rough region 75 miles or more to the east. There, 39 companies have anted up $1.1 billion for leases to drill for oil and gas deep under the sea. While there is nearly a fifty-fifty chance of winning at blackjack, the odds of striking black gold offshore are 1 in 10-and there have been a lot of losers. Last month Continental Oil Co., having drilled a 12,000-ft. dry hole in the Baltimore Canyon off the Jersey shore, capped the test site...
