Carter has come to believe that personal contacts are important regardless of whether any decisions are reached. He generally chats with the other three by telephone about once a month. The allies had met at summits in London in 1977 and in Bonn last year.

This could force some people to delay their retirement until stock prices improve. And regardless of how the market performs, the price of establishing and operating more than 150 million private investment accounts could be huge: one study shows administrative costs could eat up more than 20 percent of invested money...
