With Byrd's coaching. Carter and Congress seem headed toward mutual respect this session, though probably not affection. The man from Plains is not the kind of bourbon-sipping, backslapping politician who gets along easily with the good ole boys in Congress. But he intends to work harder at consulting and compromising with them, and in the face of the November elections, the Democrats seem more willing to make peace with their President. In his State of the Union message this week, Carter will outline his urgent goals for 1978: an energy bill, a tax cut, the passage of Panama...
...Congressmen made it by 5:40; I went on the subway. But the Senators didn't even start showing up until 6. One didn't arrive until 6:20, and another didn't come at all. I asked myself, "God! Is this the way we respect the President?" I always thought when you were called, you came. I guess this President has a problem with the Senators. He never belonged to their club.

Meanwhile a measure of comfort may be on the way for teachers oppressed by too close encounters with abusive youngsters. UCLA Psychiatrist Alfred Bloch, in a study released last March, found that 250 battered teachers from inner-city Los Angeles schools evinced nervous symptoms akin to "combat neurosis." Now the American Federation...
Though Miller won enormous respect as the chairman of Textron Inc., the giant and flourishing conglomerate, he has had little firsthand experience in the esoteric area of monetary policy. During his first few months in office he is likely to be more dependent on staff than was Burns, who dominated Fed decisions by the force of his personality and wide-ranging knowledge. As a consequence, no radical changes in Federal Reserve Board policy are expected immediately-but that will scarcely keep Miller out of controversy...
