...Though Carter's critics saw an element of escapism in his new zest for domestic travel, he used the trip to address nationwide concerns, notably the need to reduce the heavy U.S. dependence on foreign oil. On his way to Bardstown, he stopped off at the Cane Run electric power plant on the outskirts of Louisville. It was chosen because it is a model of what the President wants: a power plant that burns coal instead of oil and uses expensive "scrubbers" to keep even high-sulfur coal from polluting the air.

In all three countries, leftist terrorism has been on the rise, largely because more peaceable democratic opposition groups have been ruthlessly suppressed. Though the junta has denied any plans to "export our revolution," Defense Department and intelligence officials are urging that the U.S. resume arms shipments to the three nations, which have been cut off since the Carter Administration began its human rights campaign...
