Carter's work habits have changed markedly, however. He once labored almost every night after dinner, as if sheer doggedness would solve the nation's problems. Now he is more likely to quit at tea time. Says Rosalynn Carter: "Around 4:30 Jimmy will come in and say, 'You ready to jog?' or 'Let's play tennis.' " A book or movie often takes up the evening hours until his 10:30 bedtime. He still begins work at dawn...
...BETTER AT A & P, insists the latest ad slogan of the not-so-Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., whose $7.2 billion in sales make it the nation's third largest supermarket chain (after Safeway and Kroger). Last week one of West Germany's largest food retailers unexpectedly took the 120-year-old company at its word.

Only last week the New York Times mourned that the forecasts for 1978 it obtained from eight top-grade professionals "read like a nostalgic collection of unfulfilled hopes and unwarranted fears." (Examples: The Council of Economic Advisers' forecast of a 4.7% G.N.P. growth was a hopeful near...
COURTENAY SLATER, 45, is chief economist at the Commerce Department and one of the Administration's key economic tea-leaf readers. To determine where the economy is going, she pores over mountains of statistics that Commerce collects on trade, inflation, retail sales and other matters. As a student, Slater wanted to become a physicist, but was told by a professor that "women just did not go into physics." After graduating as a history major from Oberlin College and marrying (her husband is a program analyst for the National Science Foundation), Slater decided to enter a field that would lead...
