...Clear Signal. The bishops said that they were "encouraged" by Ford, while they had been "disappointed" by Carter, who had invited them in a week before. There was, however, still room for improvement in Ford's position. Declared Archbishop Joseph Bernardin, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops: "Saying we are encouraged is not to say that we are totally satisfied. We feel there are better approaches than states' rights...
...extends beyond Detroit. So far, neither President Ford nor Jimmy Carter has placed much emphasis on the plight of the large cities. The outbreak in Detroit-a chilling reminder of the violent riots that resulted in 43 deaths and more than $100 million in damage there in 1967-should signal to both candidates that the cities' cries for help can go unheeded only at grave risk.

"There is not one library here, not one museum, not one sports stadium or traffic signal. City hall is an antiquity." Indeed, the city hall is a rundown pile of stone that looks much like a prison-which in fact is what it used to be. Zayad's father was an inmate there in 1936 after an Arab uprising against the British rulers of what was then...
