Perhaps most important for its prospects of success, Carter's program would not drastically alter the life-styles of most Americans. There would be a significant shift toward smaller, lighter cars (although many cars designed to meet the gradually increasing gasoline-efficiency standards, and thus avoid a tax penalty, could readily seat six people), but that trend has already begun. People on limited incomes might well have to plan shopping trips more carefully and curtail nonessential driving. Teen-agers in middle-income families might have to bicycle to school instead of driving their own cars...
...buyer at Chicago's Marshall Field: "We are selling all we have." In Los Angeles, Designer Lore Caulfield says that demand for her slinky satin camisoles has been so overwhelming that she has had to ration them. In Palm Beach, where the Martha shop has had instant success with corselettes and camisoles, Co-Owner Lynn Manulis calls them "a very provocative above-the-table look."

His downtown Boston office sums up his success at one glance: the sauna bath, the mirror-lined universal gym and the fully equipped kitchen, not to mention the receptionist. A member of the board of directors of the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) in Washington, Oteri took over the leadership of the decriminalization campaign in Massachusetts...
Then there are the training regimens. (This sure is getting complicated.) Rachel Newton '79 attributed her success to "a little banging of the head against the wall." Ecker felt that his cradling of a stick in lacrosse practice helped, and Orb Sherman said he was on a "high protein, low carbohydrate diet." He explained in between chugs of beer that he had forgotten his "pills" before the match, pulling a bottle of the neglected "One-A-Days" from his pocket...
