...consensus of good feeling about the new Administration is remarkably broad. In fact, 42% of those who voted for Gerald Ford in the election now say their impression of Carter has improved since then. As he begins making hard decisions on energy policy, welfare reform and taxes, this glorious glow about Carter's performance will doubtless pale. For the moment, however, he has brought a substantial lift to the morale of Americans. TIME's national mood indicator, based on a series of questions that measure people's confidence in the U.S., has risen to 47%, up seven...
FOREIGN POLICY. The degree of public confidence in Carter's ability to handle foreign affairs has already surpassed Ford's highest rating: 24% have "a lot" of confidence in Carter; 22% had similar faith in Ford in June 1975. Of those polled, 55% think Carter should continue to press the Russians on human rights, and few believe this will hurt U.S. relations with the Soviet Union. But the public is not as comfortable with his strong moral stands in some other foreign policy areas. Only 39% feel he should push harder for black majority rule in South Africa...
...nice Jewish singer (this time named Esther Hoffman, not Fanny Brice) who falls in love with a rogue. Kris Kristofferson's beard takes the place of Omar Sharif's moustache.

...events in Hanoi ended a two-year freeze in relations between the U.S. and Viet Nam. After South Viet Nam fell to the Communists in April 1975, the Ford Administration blocked Hanoi from being admitted to the U.N. and refused to extend diplomatic recognition until the Vietnamese made a "full accounting" of American MIAS. North Vietnamese officials refused to do so until the U.S. paid the $3.25 billion in reconstruction aid that Richard Nixon had promised Dong in a 1973 letter, an agreement U.S. officials maintain was nullified when the Communists broke the Paris peace accords. Since Carter...
West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt did not want Jimmy Carter as U.S. President; in fact, he rooted openly for Gerald Ford during the American election campaign. But Schmidt's discomfort with Carter and his new diplomatic style only explains in part the suddenly acid relations between Bonn and Washington. Last week German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher and Defense Minister Georg Leber flew to Washington for several days of hard discussion on three policy disputes that divide the two allies. They returned to West Germany in a somewhat better mood than they had arrived in Washington with, but without...
