Carter, in fact, is dissatisfied with his economic policymaking in general. One problem is that he refuses to rely on only a single adviser. As a result, his views have often shifted from one position to another as he listens first to Charles Schultze, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, then to Treasury Secretary W.

About 120,000 people from outlying provinces move to Athens every year, with the result that 40% of Greece's citizenry are now packed into the capital. The migrants come for the few available jobs, which are usually no better than the ones they fled. At the current rate of migration, Athens by the year 2000 will have a population of 6.5 million, more than half the nation...
