...Carter's share of the blame is significant. Though intelligent, he has noteworthy lapses of judgment, especially about people. His intense loyalty to his staff makes him reluctant to fire those who may have served him well in his campaign but have demonstrated limited ability at the national level. (No Administration in recent memory has been so close to the mid-term mark with so few significant personnel changes as Carter's has.) Finally, his deep moralism and evangelistic background at times seem to have persuaded him that it is enough to preach the good word or introduce...
...divorce case, meanwhile, focused on whether Talmadge or his wife was entitled to $756,000 from a land deal.

Boeing is looking for partners to share the work. In the late '60s and early '70s, the company had to reduce its payroll drastically due to the cutbacks of its aerospace programs.

While Michael is an up-and-coming executive at the bank, Annemarie has started her own public relations agency; after only seven months, it is already in the black. Says she: "You can't be weak-spirited...
These worldly wise immigrants do not necessarily share what Novelist Saul Bellow called the "kiss-the-ground-at-Ellis-Island attitude." Many are the shards and barbs on the road to becoming American. U.S. television is a big turn-off for Europeans. So, at least initially, are permissive child rearing, much so-called gourmet food, gun-toting cops, blah-blah cocktail parties, football and baseball, bubble gum, littered streets, first-naming on first encounter, and such other indue -ers of culture shock as the warning on a hotel dressing table that greeted one European couple on their first night...
