People tend to forget how important free trade is to the economic and political health of the globe. History abounds with evidence of the folly of protectionism. Ever-higher trade barriers, climaxed by the U.S. Haw-ley-Smoot Tariff Act of 1930, helped bring on the Depression and the World War that followed. Since then, the U.S. has been committed, with occasional lapses, to trade liberalization. Even so, Carter is under more pressure than previous postwar Presidents to modify U.S. policy. Some of the most forceful protesters are his own political allies, especially labor...
...America. They show him mingling with voters, caressing corn stalks near his farm, and extemporizing upon his stands on specific issues. Rafshoon is repeating a strategy he successfully employed during the battle for the nomination: planting 30-sec. spots on TV shows such as Lawrence Welk and Hee-Haw, favored by down-home Americans.

The teams are paced by their drivers, who must take care not to burn them out in heavy slush. When a burst of speed is needed, drivers sometimes "pump...
Anyway, the Square is still ahustle with traces of times gone by. Local craftsmen sell their art on the street; street people do a business in panhandling; street haw kers make their bread by quarters, with the youth oriented Real Paper or Phoenix; freaks make music on the sidewalks: and all of them hand out at one time or another in the heart of the Square, the plaza in front of Holyoke Center.
