...writes that he saw me out of vanity, in order to appear in my journalistic pantheon of world leaders, but that he had never bothered to read any of my other interviews. That is not what he said to me when he received me in his office. For one full hour he discussed my interviews with Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Ali Bhutto and Yasser Arafat, and explained that leaders don't have to be intelligent, only strong and determined...
Walking through the area, reported TIME Correspondent Christopher Ogden, "Mrs. Carter stopped first in a patched blue-and-white plastic tent full of small children, who were lined up sitting on straw mats in three neat rows. They were 'unaccompanied minors,' the official euphemism for orphans, and they were eerily silent, showing neither tears nor smiles.

That means, compared with the past, the U.S. is prepared to accept 1.5 million more Americans out of work before Washington policymakers start pumping up the economy in an inflationary way to fight unemployment. A higher level of joblessness is tolerable today because so many more people are at work, and thus, if one family member loses his or her job, there is a better than 50% chance that another family member...
