...less than half of the policy decisions affecting Latin America; other agencies, such as the Treasury and the Departments of Commerce, Agriculture and Defense, handle the remainder. What is more, says the report, the financial and technical operations of the State Department, in its administration of the U.S. aid program, all too often get tangled up with its diplomatic responsibilities. To eliminate overlap, Rockefeller recommends that the U.S. establish an Economic and Social Development Agency in the office of the President.

There are cheerleaders-but no teams to cheer...
...environment issue was not as easily identified in some elections. Just how much Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes' vigorous program to curb water pollution helped him win reelection, for example, is conjectural-though it surely did help. In Aspen, Colo., on the other hand, Mayoral Candidate Eve Homeyer beat her two male opponents by promising to save "the quality of life" in the pleasant, fast-growing mountain resort...
