...effectiveness has been damaged is less clear. A Harris survey released last week showed Carter's public approval rating had fallen from 59% in July to 52% in late August (at the same period in their presidencies, Gerald Ford had an approval rating of only 39%, and Richard Nixon 65%). Only a third of those questioned approved his handling of the Lance problem...

The New York Times Syndicate has paid six-figure sums for the rights to syndicate forthcoming blockbusters by H.R.
