Another casualty will be the $20 billion welfare-reform program that Carter proposed last year. Aside from costing too much, the whole rationale for "reform" was thrown into question at Senate hearings this month. A $60 million, seven-year study conducted by the Stanford Research Institute in Seattle and Denver showed that people in guaranteed annual income programs, the centerpiece of the Carter plan, worked fewer hours than before, and their marriages broke up more frequently than those of persons on the present welfare system. Carter is considering supporting a revised welfare proposal that would not be fully funded until...
...administration's seven-year tenure Harvard has employed a combination of legal expertise and an aggressive and intimidating bargaining style to either deflect or squelch labor discontent.

In his own archdiocese, he sought priestly and lay involvement through an innovative "Pastoral Synod," a seven-year series of discussions on church affairs reminiscent of far more radical nationwide gatherings in Holland that were banned by the Vatican...
FREE PATTY plead T shirts and bumper stickers by the thousands in California. They are visible evidence of a rapidly growing movement to win the release of Patricia Hearst from the federal correctional institution at Pleasanton, Calif., where she is serving a seven-year term for bank robbery. Every weekend in San Diego, 50 volunteers canvass shoppers at supermarkets, collecting signatures on petitions to President Carter. Similar efforts are under way across the country, and a leader of the campaign claims that 40,000 people have signed pleas for clemency. The White House and the Justice Department have received...
