...this year's Bicentennial celebration, thoughtful commentators were not boasting of iron and steel-or computers and rockets-the outward manifestations of national power. They were preoccupied with the inner nation. Does it still contain the iron and steel of character necessary to maintain the American enterprise? Many fear that the U.S. has been fatally weakened by its material success. It is certainly possible to find signs of satiety, decadence and disorder. But the evidence points more strongly to a new optimism, and to an occasionally grim determination to be harder on ourselves, clearly underlined by the Supreme Court...
...Democratic Party fairly shines with the inner peace of the born-again. The presidential candidate, Jimmy Carter, awaits only his official anointment next Wednesday, July 14, at Madison Square Garden. Not since 1964 have all factions of the party been so purposefully unified. The New York City convention promises all the controversy of a riverside baptism in south Georgia.

...generation; of a heart attack; in Boston. Intending first to become a poet, White continued to write blank verse to accompany his photographs. His goal, he explained, was to get "from the tangible to the intangible," and he considered his closeups of rocks, driftwood and swirling water "inner landscapes," metaphors for his states of mind. His groups of related photographs, or "sequences," were meant to be apprehended as one work, like a succession of movie stills...
