...because of that position. For him to turn around one year later, point a finger at us and call proponents of deregulation 'energy profiteers' is nothing more than a cheap political shot." The Congressman had a point about Carter's reversal, but the contention that Republican Ford would have carried all three states if Carter had opposed deregulation is highly dubious. Louisiana's Long, mildly critical, urged a "lower level of rhetoric." Senate Republican Leader Howard Baker argued that Carter's energy program was not in trouble because of the oil lobby but because...
From Palm Springs come the genial protests of Gerald Ford, who also liked to close the day with two martinis (5 to 1) and when things went well (or badly) had three. The ghost of De Voto is walking the land, recalling the poetry in the first martini: "The rat stops gnawing in the wood, the dungeon walls withdraw, the weight is lifted . . . your pulse steadies and the sun has found your heart . . . the day was not bad, the season has not been bad, there is sense and even promise in going...

In his speech of acceptance, Kuznetsov pledged to dedicate "all my strength" to fulfilling the high honor bestowed on him. As for who may some...
...trades on his independence, he is, after all, the President's brother, and his attraction depends upon that presidential nimbus. Watergate discredited the presidency, but it does not follow that the office therefore deserves to be treated cheaply. ("Cheap, hell!" Billy might answer. "I'm expensive!") Gerald Ford and his family managed to invest the White House with a relaxed kind of dignity during their tenure. They did not try to sell blankets along Pennsylvania Avenue. Billy Carter is hardly subverting the Republic by being tacky, but the psychodrama of his celebrity does not add much shine...
