...public works bill that Jimmy Carter vetoed was a hodgepodge of hundreds of energy-producing and water-control projects. Many were clearly commendable (and supported by the President), such as the creation of a second deep-draft channel to relieve Honolulu's congested harbor and an irrigation project in northern Washington to nourish some 10,000 acres of apple orchards. But the bill also contained some projects benefiting so few people that Carter criticized them as wasteful. Some examples...
...State Department's China hands, infrequent reassessments of U.S.-China relations have fallen upon an ignorant, almost immature, China desk. The costs of this ignorance have been staggering.

His voice is higher than one would expect, viscous and slighly drawly, the vocal equivalent of the corn syrup produced in his native Kansas. For over an hour Altman answers questions from the 30-odd reporters sitting in front...
