...admitted a white member? The only sensible answer to both questions is yes. The notion of a black caucus with white members is silly on its face. So is the notion of a Jewish club that admits non-Jewish members. For this reason alone, Presidential Counsel Robert J. Lipshutz's resignation from Atlanta's formerly Jewish Standard Club, in protest against its restricted membership, seemed somewhat strange. He was demanding, in effect, that the club relinquish the essence of its nature...
Last week in a letter to the IRS, Carter said he and his wife had decided to make a voluntary payment amounting to approximately 15% of their net taxable income "because of my strong feeling that a person should pay some tax on his income."

But his influence on policy has not broadened beyond relatively narrow legal areas, such as deciding the conflict-of-interest problems for Carter's appointees and advising the commutation of G. Gordon Liddy's Watergate sentence. A rapidly rising member of the Carter staff is Domestic Policy Assistant Stuart E. Eizenstat, 34. Although quiet and self-effacing, he has gained the respect...
