...Zaire carefully before permitting Vance to shore up Mobutu's regime. And the much heralded shift in American policy in Africa should be scrutinized equally carefully, because for all Carter's rhetoric about human rights, at the moment his foreign policy seems based on premises that are dangerously parallel to those that led previous administrations to support repressive and corrupt regimes throughout the world...
Young's civil rights background has greatly influenced his foreign policy views. Perhaps somewhat simplistically, he sees a parallel between racism in South Africa and in the American Old South. Says he: "I've been to South Africa all my life. Every line I hear, I've been hearing for 40 years." But he also feels that, as in the U.S. South, accommodation is possible.

Alaska state officials vigorously support the El Paso system, which would bring jobs and investment for liquefaction plants to the area. One key drawback to the plan is that the West Coast already has an ample supply of gas. Another is the possibility of tanker mishaps. The Alcan application, which proposes laying a pipeline...
