Carter said he was undisturbed by the talk that his style was confusing. But he admitted that there was truth to the charge. "That confused image does exist," he said. "I acknowledge it." He decided at the outset of his term, he said, that the public had to be included in the decision-making process, especially after Watergate. "These tough negotiating points have never been debated in the American environment or American society before. In the long run foreign policy is more likely to be correctly determined, we are less likely to have serious mistakes, if the public is part...

This column tried to pass itself off at the outset as a rock column; excuse it. It is really a rock plus jazz column but it is young and gets confused easily. It meant no harm. In any case, there "will" be jazz sounds emanating from the lips and fingers of qualified people around Boston this week, beginning tonight with Robert Silverman playing solo jazz piano at Emmanuel Church, 15 Newbury Street, at 8 p.m., and you can hear him for free if you drop two dollars in the tiller...
