...claims that Carter had trimmed "Big Government" and inefficiency in his 1970-1974 tenure in the Governor's mansion. At the same time, out on the Iowa delegate trail, the roving press pundits following Carter took note of his expediently pliant statements on abortion. Columnists Robert Evans and William Novak inveighed against Carter's abortion hedging, and major liberal newspapers and magazines picked up the theme. Robert Healy, executive editor and grand polemicist of the Boston Globe, entered the fray with a series of columns denouncing Carter as a "pseudo-liberal," and Marty Peretz's New Republic, reversing its favorable...

Harvard Sociologist Orlando Patterson, himself black, thinks ethnicity was "possibly the only way blacks could mobilize" but sees white ethnicity, its successor, as an alarming "symptom of fragmentation" in society, and he believes it is tacitly or potentially antiblack. Some white minority groups would actually rather be all-American than be seen as a separate ethnic group. Carlos Almeida, whose Portuguese Union of the State of California pushed through the Bay Area bilingual program, says that all Americans should learn English...
