...Under increasing criticism-from liberals, who regard him as too much of a penny-pinching conservative, and from labor leaders, who complain that parts of his energy programs could put many blue-collar Americans out of work-Carter took to the hustings again by making a whirlwind, campaign-style tour of California. There he confronted some of his critics and demonstrated that even in a state that he lost by 127,500 votes last November, he has broad public support...
...crossfire. Last week a white couple, their black servant and an eight-year-old child were murdered by terrorists who fled across the border into Botswana. Such incidents are taking their toll on the daily lives of the country's whites. During a 1,200-mile tour of Rhodesia, TIME'S Johannesburg bureau chief William McWhirter stopped at missions and family farms, many of them along the guerrilla-infested border with Mozambique. He found that while many whites still believe they can hold their own in the war, it has become a futile effort, delaying and making more...
Some OPEC leaders have tried to close the rift, but so far without success. The latest attempt was made by President Carlos Andres Perez of Venezuela. In a fast-paced tour of the Middle East, Perez sought to persuade his warring OPEC colleagues to accept a compromise.

...boldest person in the world. In fact, I'm fairly retiring," says Lady Bird Johnson. Yet in 1964, campaigning for Lyndon, the First Lady once made 47 speeches in four days on a whistle-stop tour of the South. Back on the hustings in Virginia, Lady Bird, 64, is again gamely speaking at luncheons and asking audiences to ante up contributions at fund raisers. Her message: "I don't presume to tell Virginians about Virginia politics, but I do know Chuck Robb." Robb, 37, her lawyer son-in-law, is after the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor...
...stayed confused after Carlo gave them a tour of the campus. Lou's taste in architecture was limited to red brick and lots of chimneys, and he had really loved the picture of the bell tower in the catalogue. He couldn't figure out why people thought it was so funny to spend a few million on a Science Center that looked like something the Inquiring Photographer might use. The Union dorms didn't do much for him either--the nicest building in the neighborhood, he concluded, was the Elk's Lodge across from Pennypacker. After meeting Larry...
