This album comes as a complete disappointment after Forbert's first effort, Alive on Arrival, an invigorating and unself conscious album that successfully bears comparison to Springsteen and even early Dylan. In songs from Alive like "Going Down to Laurel" and "Settle Down" Forbert is an unharnessed storyteller, combining spirited music and effective ballads...
Despite pressures from Iran and Afghanistan, Carter dived into the budget with his famous penchant for detail, spending a total of 25 hours in White House meetings roaming through the numbers. In a final session over turkey and ham sandwiches at the Laurel Lodge at Camp David the Saturday before Christmas, Carter, Budget Chief James McIntyre and several aides reviewed a three-page mimeographed.sheet of 39 unresolved programs.

Arriving there, they were met by Secret Service men and ushered to the Laurel Lodge, where Carter joined them for breakfast, lunch or dinner and long postmeal talks; one lasted five hours, until from routine (steak and fresh vegetables) to exotic ("ten-boy curry," an Indian dish so named because ten mess boys supposedly are required to serve it and its condiments...
