DIED. Goodloe E. Byron, 49, four-term Democratic Congressman from Maryland; of a heart attack, while running; in Washington County, Md. A veteran of six Boston Marathons, Byron collapsed while training for his eighth 50-mile John F. Kennedy Memorial Hike/Run. Byron was heavily favored to win re-election next month to the congressional seat once held by his father and later, his mother...
Notes on a September morning: Up in the dark out in the Maryland suburbs. Air crisp, sliver of a moon still high. Roar of the Potomac River's great falls from over the hill. George Washington used to tarry there. Headed down the valley to breakfast with Jimmy Carter, 189 years after George, but land still beautiful in first light Mist rising over water.

Those who watched him closely in the hours after the summit adrenaline stopped pumping saw at least two things. Carter had a genuine increase in self-confidence and what one participant described as a 'new maturity,' which in essence was an understanding of the bits and pieces of presidential experience collected over the past 20 months. At last he seemed to fuse them into a leadership device of his design...
...successful summit in the Maryland mountains is not a cure for Carter's leadership problem. But surely it is a kind of achievement at the critical time needed to bring people a little closer to their President, to silence for the moment a lot of petty grievances that grew bigger than they should have THE WHITE HOUSE because of Carter's fumbling. It worked that way for John Kennedy in 1963, when after the Cuban missile crisis he successfully completed the nuclear test-ban treaty with the Soviet Union. And even Richard Nixon, never really...
