...turbulent annals of free enterprise, the relatively swift rise of Gulf & Western must be regarded as a noteworthy success story, and the company is now seeking to share the most recent installment of that story with TIME'S audience. The unusual advertising message appears in TIME alone. As G & W Executive Vice President Martin S. Davis puts it, "We consider TIME readers very much a part of our success." We too consider the quality of our readers, along with the thoroughness of our news coverage, to be responsible for the high reputation TIME enjoys in the advertising and financial...
...Carter is precisely halfway through his first term as President of the United States, a job he sought almost obsessively, began with a poorly directed enthusiasm and now fulfills with somewhat erratic results. He has performed diligently, but with limited success. He has won victories, suffered defeats, made mistakes, learned from the job, built a record of some competence and of far-reaching efforts at reform occasionally interspersed by silly blunders. He has reversed a major decline in his popularity, yet he is still something of a stranger in his own party, attacked from its broad ideological wings left...

The truckers, for example, have spurned a 15% hike proposed...
...joyous mood that overtook Iran after the Shah fled the country was all but over. Last week Iran faced new violence, new tests of wills, new forebodings about an uncertain future that might involve chaos, coups, civil war. Without much visible success, the government of the Shah's appointee, Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar, struggled for both popularity and credibility. Led by generals fiercely loyal to the Shah, the army stayed on the alert, clashing sporadically with opponents of the monarch. At week's end, Bakhtiar made a dramatic bid to break the impasse. He offered to meet early...
