...messages that an American President has made to the public since World War II," says Assistant Managing Editor Ray Cave of Jimmy Carter's opening "energy week" address. As the President returned again and again to the air waves and as the debate about his energy proposals grew more heated, we decided that the scope of the President's plan and the public's response required a cover story-our third on the energy crisis since April 4. Cave, along with Senior Editor George Church and Associate Editor James Atwater, assembled a team of writers, correspondents...
...mortgage money. During the past two years many cautious consumers fattened their savings accounts instead of spending. The country's savings and loan institutions, prime source of housing mortgage money, not only replaced the cash that drained out of them during the money squeeze of 1973-74, but grew heavy with funds that no one wanted to borrow. Now mortgage interest rates have declined to a national average of 8½% to 8¾%, v. 9% at the height of the money squeeze, and S and Ls are requiring as little as 10% down, compared to 1974 when buyers...

But this does not detract from the general usefulness of Erickson's theory and can only...
...when he undertook a $50,000 remodeling job for Bob Dylan. Says he: "I quickly realized that this guy had so much money that he didn't need to conform to any of the rules binding me." During his two years with Dylan, the $50,000 remodeling grew into a $2.25 million mansion. "I had to keep a straight face when Dylan said he wanted a living room he could ride a horse through," recalls Tobin. "It would have helped a lot to have been a shrink...
