...South has not given up on Carter. It has simply become more critically observant. James David Barber, author of The Presidential Character and a Duke University political science professor, believes that recent events may finally have caused a "restoration of leadership" in the White House. Says he: "The follow-up is going to be everything...
...studying hard. A former aide to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jackson has spent the past three years taking his Chicago-based PUSH-EXCEL program to schools across the country. PUSH-EXCEL requires teachers to assign homework, students to study two hours a night, and parents to provide support. Follow-up programs are sometimes weak and the long-range effectiveness remains to be seen, but some PUSH-EXCEL programs have produced lower absentee rates and higher morale.

...have its turn this week. Each model will be given ten tests strapped to a B-52 to enable the missile's guidance system to fly the bomber. Each model will also have ten freeflight tests.

Both offer again pretty much the same bill of fare, without the single tune that snags your ear straight off and streamlines the journey to the Top Ten. The Cars, a Boston band, go big for flash, echo and cosmic inconclusion. Dire Straits are English and purvey a sort of oblique narrative rock so relaxed and laid back, with its easygoing guitar licks and sleepytime vocals, that the record could have been...
