Last week Jimmy Carter expressed a wish of his own to Meany and his AFL-CIO executive council during an hour-and-a-half meeting in the White House Indian Treaty Room. Carter told Big Labor that he wanted its support for his program of voluntary wage and price restraints to curb inflation. Only the day before, at a lavish White House breakfast meeting, Carter had announced a gift of sorts for the 83-year-old Meany: a solid Administration endorsement for the troubled labor-reform bill.

We are back in Providence, Gielgud's luxurious estate, framed by equally lush verdure and a glittering lake, and the context of the preceding segments...
