...pension funds, banks, universities and other institutions. In effect, these institutions manage the money of millions of ordinary wage earners-the very people, in fact, whom Carter now urges to rise up and keep the oil firms from having an excuse "to cheat the public and to damage the nation...
...Carter Administration's wage-price guidelines were beset by a tide of woe last week. While the nation's long-haul trucking slowed drastically, representatives of the industry and the striking Teamsters remained unable to agree on a new contract that came near to meeting the Government's "voluntary" limit of 7% in annual wage and benefit increases. At the same time, a walkout by United Airlines machinists, who are also seeking a guideline-busting settlement, grounded all flights of the U.S.'s largest air carrier and forced the layoff of more than 13,000 pilots...
...union effort to flex some muscle but avoid provoking the White House into imposing the 80-day cooling-off period under the Taft-Hartley Act.

Not only are the costs and the legality of many minority-helping programs receiving new scrutiny, but there is a new uncertainty over their educational justification. Where once it seemed a school's moral duty to admit disadvantaged applicants, now the failure to discriminate between qualified and unqualified members of minority groups is widely denounced as harmful to the students, as well as to education generally. Where once it seemed crucial for previously all-white universities to bolster blacks...
