Such voters, says Haley Barbour, who managed Gerald Ford's Southeastern campaign in 1976, "will like Reagan better for choosing Bush. It shows he is pragmatic and not the kamikaze right-winger that some people would have you believe." William Durham, who ran Howard Baker's short-lived campaign in South Carolina, believes that the choice of Bush will especially help Reagan with young professionals who are economically conservative but socially liberal and who so far have found Reagan "difficult to swallow; they don't know what's behind...
...economically hard pressed Hartford, spirits have risen a bit this spring. Why? Consider the case of Mary Haley, a slender, brown-haired woman who wears her 41 years well. She arises early, shoos her three resident children (ages 17, 14 and ten) off to school. She orders one to remember to feed the dog, then bustles around a six-room frame house at 61 Monroe Street in a working-class area. The house is 64 years old and tax delinquent. After picking up a stray article of clothing here, dusting a table top there, Mary too is off-to work...
...overseer of the unique and practical program that allows indigents to work off their tax bills in part-time services to the city (they receive no cash) is David Hargreaves, 34. Says Hargreaves, saying it all: "These people are rich resources." Mary Haley is, anyway. Three years ago, a divorce propelled her into the baffling world of taxes, mortgages, bills.

...Mary Haley managed to get a part-time job (20 hours a week) answering the telephone for the crisis-intervention support unit at $4.80 an hour. Her total annual income: $5,400 plus $3,000 in child support from her ex-husband. How to erase that tax bill? "The in-kind program was my only hope." She was hired at $4.30 an hour to do clerical and case work for Hartford's juvenile crime prevention center. In her cramped, cluttered office -a stainless steel desk, two telephones, unvacuumed carpet, small white teapot, a naked light fixture overhead, with...
...Counter in Stockholm in 1978 at a Press Conference for Alex Haley and on a few other occasions altogether the times we met can be counted in minutes. I sent him an invitation because the films have ethnomedical and health aspects. It is not true that he "strongly protested the showing of the films" or tried to stop the presentation. After the screening he made some aggressive remarks and walked out while most of the audience stayed on for further discussion. I was not the "main speaker"; I was the only speaker and introduced the films. I did not have...
