On the one hand, leading Georgia civil rights figures who have backed Carter in the past, such as Julian Bond and Maynard Jackson, have shown maverick impulses--Bond attacked Carter's hiring record in a speech in Boston last month (causing Mark Zweicher, a Business School student and Carter aide, to grumble in the back of the bus, "Julian's looking for some limelight, and we think he's on the Harris...
EVEN JOYCE MAYNARD couldn't have chosen a better scenario. In 1969 the U.S. Forest Service announced its approval of a plan for a mammoth, year-round resort in California's Mineral King valley, 16,000 acres of national forest land high in the southern Sierra Nevada.

Militants, of course, have long scoffed at the idea that black children must be seated next to whites in order to receive a good education. But today such black mayors as Detroit's Young and Atlanta's Maynard Jackson concede that busing poses formidable economic and political problems that must be reckoned with.
