According to a survey conducted for TIME by Yankelovich, Skelly & White, 58% of the people regard Carter as a leader who can be trusted, down only 4 percentage points since March (see following story). At the same time Americans are increasingly uneasy about inflation, and only 25% of those surveyed expressed confidence in Carter's ability to handle the economy, a plunge of 8 points since March. That general skepticism appears to be reflected in the skittish behavior of the stock market, a pretty fair indicator of business confidence. The Dow Jones average has slid steadily, hitting...
...walk into the office looking like this," he says, waving at his jeans, the American Indian jewelry hanging from his neck, and the Coyote T shirt bought at the Second Annual Hookers' Ball in Manhattan this year. The other major change: "The freedom to do things without regard to what they cost."

Ratner has reported on two of these, Manufacturers Hanover Bank and General Electric. On Manufacturers, the ACSR faced the South African question for the first time over the issue of further loans to the South African government. Other than agreeing that we felt Manufacturers should establish a policy of assessing the likely social impact of each loan to the government, the ACSR could not agree on how to recommend to Harvard to vote its proxy...
...With regard to G.E., the ACSR mustered a very slim majority in favor of a total South African withdrawal resolution. G.E., among other things, had a less than perfect employment record in South Africa, and this was a key factor. The Harvard Corporation, however, was unsure of the merits of the proxy proposal and, breaking only slightly with the ACSR, again took the middle ground of abstention on the issue...
