...subject of all the celebration, he spent much of last week honing an Inaugural speech that he hopes to keep brief. On reading a volume of all past Inaugural Addresses, Carter especially admired the tight, 1,500-word speech by John F. Kennedy and Woodrow Wilson's esteemed first Inaugural Address. Carter asked his top appointees and various staffers, as well as Mondale, for suggestions. Then, working in his study in Plains, he jotted his ideas on small pieces of paper, arranging them in speech sequence. Speechwriter Patrick Anderson provided a working draft, which Carter revised and polished, reading...

One of the tasks (a "detailed charge") he assigned the committee was the investigation of "a possible field of undergraduate concentration, held together by the centrality of concern for African and Afro-American subject matter."

" As expected, many of the nays came from those employed by nursing homes, already the subject of widespread criticism. But there was also a surprising number of negative responses from small (under 200-bed) hospitals, traditionally thought to be the models of tender, loving care. Reported a nurse from one of these vest-pocket institutions: "Our emergency room has been known to call in a certain...
