Carter got a similar message from Senate Democratic leaders last week. In a meeting at the White House, the President argued that inflation was the pub-He's greatest concern. He urged the Democrats to get behind his economic program and not dwell on "extraneous matters" like the water projects. But Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd brushed aside that reasoning.

Character B would be discarded, then put quickly back when...
...recommends, for instance, that "whenever there is a woman in a biblical passage, retell the story from her point of view." Example: in the story of Moses, do not dwell simply on his feat of leading the Israelites out of Egypt; consider also the courage shown by Moses' mother and sister in saving his life when he was newborn...
