Though Carter was calling all the shots himself, he was keeping Fritz Mondale and Jordan with him at the center of the selection process. The three men had started their work just before Thanksgiving, when they sat alone for three hours in one of the huge formal living rooms of Blair House. Each man ticked off names for various departments. When Jordan declared at one point that a certain businessman would make a good No. 2 man in a big department, Carter broke in: "No, let me decide that." He would obviously keep tight control...
...RELATIONS WITH CARTER: I would think we will have a really easy relationship, not formal or structured. He will expect me to help him wherever I can. I think the area of congressional relationships is awfully important, and I may be able to work in that area. In Georgia, while I ran the highway department, I had other areas that I dealt with, relations with the business community, for instance, and I would expect to be involved there. I think I will be wide-ranging, not just strictly handling the budget...
Until 1973, Doris Mitchell, former assistant dean of Radcliffe, had coordinated activities for black women, such as teas, open houses and a career symposium, thereby delaying the need for a formal organization like ABRW.

...York City, off-duty police have scuffled with uniformed officers in vitriolic demonstrations over working conditions. In Detroit, bitter police officers insolently nicknamed their balding chief "Elmer Fudd" in washroom graffiti. San Francisco's new police chief removed the American flag to make his office less formal, and small flags defiantly sprouted on squad-car antennas. The Orange County Patrolmen's Benevolent Association in Florida gives its members a policeman's "Miranda card," outlining not the rights of criminal suspects but the officer's own rights if he is investigated by his department. Rank-and-file...
...female resident notes. "But that's okay," she quickly adds, "because things are a lot more relaxed that way." The women join readily in games of vertical football and other traditionally all-male Pennypacker pursuits--a fact that surprises Reardon, who had expected the atmosphere to be "much more formal." But the formality and nervousness generated by conventional sex barriers are gone from Pennypacker; its residents seem to accept the incest taboo as part of living in a co-ed dorm...
