...disposal during the convention a communications system that not only could monitor other candidates' communication systems, but could also jam them if necessary. The system was devised with the aid and complicity of Jim Gammill '75, Carter convention co-ordinator, and killed at the last minute by more prudent advisers. But even this story partially was reported last November in the Times, and Reeves simply doesn't add much more. This means that some of the most interesting reading comes in the footnotes to Convention, where Reeves mentions the rumors that some New York congressmen voted not to override President...

If the vaccine is cleared, Cooper says, he will recommend resumption of the program-both to provide protection against swine...
...choosing a successor to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Presidentelect Jimmy Carter could hardly have selected anyone with a more contrasting style. Cyrus Roberts Vance is a low-key, prudent team player who made his reputation as a skilled troubleshooter for Lyndon Johnson. He is so uncomfortable with personal publicity that photographs often show him wearing a slightly rueful half-smile...
