...leader of the West was too important a decision to be left only to Americans. It is a notion that world leaders would eagerly endorse this year. Although they are discreetly keeping their feelings to themselves, they are watching the 1980 campaign with varying degrees of disdain and dismay. In general, they like none of the three candidates, though most would reluctantly cast their ballots for Jimmy Carter. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt expressed one major reason when he told aides, "At least I have got more or less used to Carter." But local and regional considerations also play...
...after a short recess, the judge tacked on some amendments to the original charter. To the dismay of union leaders, he inserted the objectionable clause about party supremacy.

The prospect of altering the design does not dismay all of his advisers. Though, understandably, they will not come out and say so, even privately, some would not be unhappy to see Congress reduce the size of the tax cuts, thereby making Ronald Reagan's already scaled-down program even more modest still...
