DIED. Carl Schmitt, 96, controversial German legal and political philosopher, sometimes called the Crown Jurist of the Third Reich, whose pro-authoritarian theories of government profoundly influenced the course of his country; in Plettenberg, West Germany. From 1929 to 1933, he provided legal and theoretical justifications for the Hindenburg government's dictatorial emergency decree system. Schmitt warned against a Nazi takeover, but his right-wing views became identified with the movement, and when Adolf Hitler took power in 1933, Schmitt opportunistically switched with the tide, becoming Prussian state councilor under Hermann Goring. He avoided prosecution as a war criminal...
...offered its farm customers such incentives as a price freeze at 1982 levels and deferral of interest on some sales financed by the company. Some farm equipment dealers may be forced out of the business. Noting the lack of federal programs to help suppliers, John Deere Dealer Willis Schmitt of Holy Cross, Iowa, says, "We suffer as much as the farmer, maybe more...
Many of the nation's Republican losers were on the phone with the White House last week seeking new jobs. Among them: Senator Schmitt, Governor Clements and Clarence Brown, who lost the Governor's race in Ohio. Some asked to be appointed to replace outgoing Energy Secretary James Edwards.

Only two veterans, Democrat Howard Cannon of Nevada and Republican Harrison Schmitt of New Mexico, lost their races; on Election Day in 1980 ten Senators were beaten, and seven were defeated in 1978. Yet, examined more closely, the overall numbers do not give much solace to the Republicans. Of the 19 Democratic incumbents, 13 won with 60% or better, while four others attracted between 57% and 59% of the vote. But only one of the eleven G.O.P. incumbents, John Heinz of Pennsylvania, drew 60%. Indeed, four moderate Republicans, Lowell Weicker of Connecticut...
...House on the positive signs that Republicans perceived. CBS erred the other way. The hyperkinetic Rather, who had stoked up on spaghetti for energy, seemed infatuated with homey metaphors ("as long as a well rope") and cutesy topical imagery ("E.T., phone home: [New Mexico Senator and Former Astronaut] Jack Schmitt needs help"). Above all, he appeared hell-bent on spotting a Democratic trend. For Republicans, he said, "it certainly doesn't look good. No way to make it look good." White House Correspondent Lesley Stahl shared his view. Soon after 7 p.m. E.S.T., she announced flatly...
