These angry statements reflect the biting mood of the chief executives of many cities, who are upset with Jimmy Carter for not paying more attention to the problems of urban America. They voiced their complaints in interviews with TIME on the eve of two get-togethers in San Francisco: the first, which ended last weekend, rallied more than 100 top officials from metropolitan areas; the second, which continued this week, was the annual meeting of the National League of Cities, attended by 4,300 municipal officials...
Euphoria still reigned in Cairo, and a slightly more restrained mood of optimism buoyed Jerusalem. But in other capitals of the Middle East -not to mention Washington and Moscow-there were worries and frowns about the moves that are following Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's historic visit to Israel.

But in the right mood, he can quote anything out of context for hilarious effect. Outside the witch's gingerbread house a sign reads: THIS STRUCTURE WILL BE TORN DOWN AND REPLACED BY A NEW 44-STORY COOKIE. The back of Santa Claus' sleigh bears the bumper stickers REGISTER COMMUNISTS, NOT FIREARMS...
Time Magazine, always quick to proclaim the national mood, predicted recently that the advent of the videotape machine will force homeowners in the future to build their own "media centers" to accomodate the television and its ever-growing number of accessories. But, until the price of the videotapes comes down some from the $1000 mark, shouts of a video revolution are probably a bit premature. Catching the last half of "Charlie's Angels" just isn't that important...
