...endorses the traditional Republican position that the Government should meddle less in the affairs of the citizenry. Carter wants to make federal programs more efficient and "compassionate"?a favorite word in his political lexicon. He vows one of his first missions in the White House would be to root out Washington's "horrible bureaucratic mess" by reducing some 1,900 federal agencies to about 200. Just how he would accomplish this wonder he has not said...
...Research. Lignasan BLP is dissolved in water and pumped into a tree's circulatory system through holes drilled into the tree at or just below the root "flare" at ground level. In experiments conducted on 7,500 trees last year and an anticipated 100,000 elms this summer by the Elm Research Institute of Harrisville, N.H., early test results indicate that Lignasan is 99% effective when used preventively-before the disease strikes-on healthy trees. But many plant scientists refuse to endorse the product until they know more about proper dosages, duration of protection and the chemical...

In early 1975, for example, Ford accepted a swelling budget deficit as the price of ending the nation's worst postwar recession. In Reagan's view, budget deficits are something close to the root of all economic evil. Again, Ford last December reluctantly signed a bill that cut oil prices immediately and continued controls for seven years, though they will gradually be lifted. Reagan has never ceased to excoriate Ford for that act. In his view, all controls should have been ended immediately...
