MARVIN JOSEPHSON, 50, appears to be the antithesis of the popular image of an agent, but, unlike many of the modern breed who prefer euphemisms for their trade, he readily admits he is one. Soft-voiced, genial, unhurried and conservatively dapper, he launched International Creative Management in 1955 with $100 in capital and two clients, Robert Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo) and Newscaster Charles Collingwood. Since then, Josephson has built I.C.M. into a $30 million-a-year multinational company, embracing agents, a concert-booking bureau and a TV station. His 2,250 clients include Actor Laurence Olivier, Playwright Tennessee Williams, Musician Isaac...
Jordan shuns the title of chief of staff, and in any case, Carter seems to have no intention of giving it to him-or anybody else. Jordan admits he is a poor administrator. He would prefer to be a free agent, looking ahead down the political road. "I'm no good at advising on details of a program," he insists.

What is wrong with a Jewish majority living together with an Arab minority in peace, in human dignity, in equality of rights? I believe that we can live together...
...placed a relatively high ceiling on the number of various nuclear weapons each side could deploy and did not call for significant dismantling of any existing arms. The U.S. would prefer to cut those limits further and ban various types of technological improvements on permissible systems. Some accord is urgent since the SALT I agreement of 1972, which limited defensive nuclear weapons systems (antiballistic missiles), will run out in October...
...most Democrats believe that it goes in the right direction, but they agree that it has flaws. For example, the proposal to return to consumers money collected in higher taxes will boost living costs and add to the Consumer Price Index. To hold down the C.P.I., the Democrats would prefer that the money be used to pare payroll taxes or increase revenue sharing to states and cities. Republican Greenspan would push for greater decontrol of prices despite congressional antipathy toward oil companies. Greenspan believes that the very existence of a price-regulating bureaucracy creates uncertainty for oilmen and inhibits investment...
