While Carter may have helped his standing in North Carolina, there was some question about what effect all this will have in the rest of the country, where three quarters of the people do not smoke, and where 80% of the 53 million cigarette smokers, says HEW, would like to quit if they could. Back in Washington, Nonsmoker Carter has put his Administration firmly behind preventive medicine. The evidence amassed by HEW stands like an Everest on this health horizon. Cigarette smoking is considered by federal authorities the biggest acquired cause of poor health. They claim that 320,000 people...

...screamed obscenities and their children cried, police used a bulldozer to knock down a wooden barricade and a crane to knock out windows. Firemen pumped streams of water through a cellar window, sending rats, dogs and people scurrying to safety. Suddenly, shots rang out. Police lobbed tear gas and smoke bombs into the house. After 45 minutes, the MOVE members -twelve adults and eleven children-stumbled out. The toll: one policeman dead; seven policemen, five firemen, three MOVE members and three bystanders wounded...

At the moment the final decision comes, each Cardinal lowers the purple canopy over...

...Clemente Island to watch the submarine U.S.S. Guitarro launch an antiship Tomahawk off the California coast. While Brown, high-ranking Navy officers and their guests peered through binoculars, a sleek, 18-ft. missile burst from beneath the surface of the Pacific, soared up in a bright arc of smoke and flame, and sputtered out. As the missile tumbled down, a parachute popped out, floating it to a gentle splashdown. A few minutes later, the Guitarro sent up a second Tomahawk, but it too fizzled. Pentagon engineers speculated that sea water may have leaked into the missiles and kept them from...
