The President stepped from his plane, carrying an efficient little briefcase instead of his usual suit bag. He stood in the nighttime chill, without an overcoat, and listened as British Prime Minister James Callaghan remarked that the task before the summit meeting was "nothing less than to overcome poverty, to get people to work and our economies in a healthier state than they...
