More broadly, the nation's regional press has applauded Carter's tone-setting use of symbols in his first Oval Office days. The low-key Inaugural speech, the walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, the televised chat in a sweater, the surprise visit to frozen Pittsburgh, putting Amy in a public school, cutting down on limousines, banning Hail to the Chief -all were seen as moving Carter closer to the people. "That spirit of mutuality, that feeling that all Americans are part of the Government and not apart from it, is a feeling that we have missed for years...
...Buffalo struggled to cope with its emergency, there were unavoidable tragedies. Five people were found frozen to death in their stalled cars; one was within a five-minute walk of numerous warm houses. For 32 hours, no ambulance could move. "We couldn't get out to people," recalled Dr. Joseph Zizzi, "and they couldn't get in to us. I've never seen anything like it."

Bergman arched the fatigue out of his shoulders and watched the street quickly clear of frozen extras and old cars. He never goes out during filming. He is a television addict who keeps logs on programs (his favorite is the latest Upstairs, Downstairs). "At the end of a shooting day," he says, "I'm often so tired you could put me into a black box. And yet, going home to my family seems a kind of intrusion. I have an urge to stay right here at the studio, sleep on a cot and stay with the project...
