Carter did not erect the network of transportation, labor, safety and environmental regulations that many businessmen feel is strangling them, and his criticisms of the abuses of Big Government during the primary campaign led some to believe that he would make the regulations less onerous.

Even when he is in mufti, his erect military bearing is obvious. And as Admiral Stansfield Turner passes military men in the CIA's spacious corridors, they often salute automatically. When he descends from his seventh-floor office in a private, key-operated elevator and steps into his sedan, the chauffeur calls him "Admiral" rather than "Director." Turner likes it that way.
