After 14 weeks and 61 formal sessions, the country's major parties had reached an agreement for a common program to reinforce Premier Giulio Andreotti's minority government. The Christian Democrats were relieved to have their tenuous hold on power strengthened, and the Communists were pleased because the deal gave them a formal voice in government policy for the first time in 30 years...
Rosalynn Carter may have disconcerted her somewhat formal South American hosts by speaking so casually on her recent tour of what "Jimmy" thought and what "Jimmy" meant to do.

No snooty headwaiters, no discomfort over which fork to use; the teen-agers who always seem to be taking orders at the counter are chipper as Munchkins. At many roadside stands the food may indeed be cheap, but it is also inexpensive. Tests have shown that it would cost about two-thirds of the menu price to duplicate some fast-food meals at home. Factor in cooking labor and clean-up time, not to mention the absence of such fillips as special sauces or eleven...
