When he was not on Vail's ski slopes last week, he worked for several hours on the 1977-78 budget, a proposal for a $10 billion tax cut and the State of the Union message that he will deliver on Jan. 12. He also made the surprising announcement that he would ask Congress to enact legislation to admit Puerto Rico, now a commonwealth whose residents have U.S. citizenship, as a full-fledged state...

But the authorities are committed to keeping schools open for any students who want to defy the boycott. If SSRC tries intimidation to keep children away, Pretoria is likely to counter with its tough, heavily armed and mostly white riot police.
