Carter said he was undisturbed by the talk that his style was confusing. But he admitted that there was truth to the charge. "That confused image does exist," he said. "I acknowledge it." He decided at the outset of his term, he said, that the public had to be included in the decision-making process, especially after Watergate. "These tough negotiating points have never been debated in the American environment or American society before. In the long run foreign policy is more likely to be correctly determined, we are less likely to have serious mistakes, if the public is part...
...rally is in a Chicago ghetto school; the cheerleader is none other than the Rev. Jesse Jackson (he was ordained as a Baptist minister). His style is a combination of razzle-dazzle and Southern revival meeting. But the message is a very basic version of the old Protestant work ethic: work hard and aim high.

The venerables are revered by young musicians, and a surprising number of the young are choosing to go into the older forms of jazz. The young turks in the trumpet section of Puente's Orchestra are all dying to rip off a brilliant solo...
Ecumenism. "However much common statements may be developed on original sin, for example, the Protestant style and worldview still takes a much more pessimistic view of human nature (and human fun, like gambling, dancing, drinking, card-playing, and sex) than does the traditional Catholic worldview. These differences have been largely ignored by theologians...
