...campaign and some who were new to politics. One such recruit: Ernie Leger, 46, an Albuquerque real estate salesman, gave up his job for four months to work as a full-time volunteer (15 hours a day). He worked telephone banks turning people out for ward conventions, the first step in the delegate selection process. Says state chairman Jack Stahl, who is staying neutral: "I see a clean sweep of all 21 delegates for Reagan...
George Ball, by contrast, has been a prolific public critic of Nixon-Kissinger-Ford foreign policy. He has been especially skeptical about Kissinger's step-by-step diplomacy in the Middle East. Ball, 66, was Under Secretary of State under J.F.K. and L.B.J., an in-house critic of the Viet Nam policy, and briefly U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Some Carter staffers say Ball is "running too hard" for Secretary...
...elect Elias Sarkis when disaster struck. Because Lebanon's discredited President Suleiman Franjieh still clings to office, despite the fact that Sarkis has already been chosen to succeed him, Meloy had not yet presented his credentials−a move generally interpreted as a U.S. nudge to Franjieh to step down.

Said the Prime Minister: "We have witnessed a type and scale of violence unique in our history, terrorist activities previously unknown to us which have caused fear and concern to every decent Jamaican citizen." Security forces, he insisted, had found evidence that terrorism was to be deliberately stepped up this week...
...would rely principally on those most orthodox tools of Democratic policy: higher Government spending, temporarily larger budget deficits and an effort to persuade the Federal Reserve Board to increase the nation's money supply more rapidly. He also proposes a variety of Government inducements to private industry to step up hiring, including more money for on-the-job training programs and research assistance to develop promising technologies such as solar energy. Another Carter recommendation: an intriguing plan under which a company that would ordinarily lay off, say, 10% of its employees would instead keep all of them...
