...veteran observers, and he has too far to go before he becomes a skillful practitioner of Washington politics. Public opinion surveys have chronicled a fairly steady slide in presidential popularity-from a peak of 75% of those queried by the Gallup poll approving his handling of the presidency in March 1977 to only 44% approving this May. With growing frequency, Washington insiders speculate that Jimmy Carter may in fact occupy the White House for just one term...
...people who are becoming rich are the stock market players: Resorts International's stock soared from $20 a share in March to a recent high of $96½. The company has invested some of its new capital by purchasing the Seeburg line of slot machines and Atlantic City's famed Steel Pier.

Many, many more are sprouting on what were once dusty, barren plots along highways a few miles from city limits...
...author assures us it is true. We do not know." Despite this weak disclaimer, J.B. Lippincott Co. last March published In His Image as nonfiction. The book, though dull and error filled, stirred immediate controversy by claiming that a baby boy cloned from an eccentric aging millionaire (and thus his genetic duplicate), by a doctor named "Darwin," was alive and well. Had Lippincott checked with any of the reputable scientists quoted in the book or even with the editors in its own medical book division, it would have known that the story was probably fraudulent; experts agree that no mammal...
