...precious little sustenance from the earth they scorched in a vain attempt to hold off the advancing barbarians. This is the year the swell for labor law reform hit a crosswind; the year natural gas deregulation came in a gusher. This is the year of The Great Temptation to trumpet a Right-Wing Trend. Well, get thee behind me, Satan. Because this is a year like most years in American politics...
Trying to cope with the worst dollar disaster yet, the Carter Administration last week seemed in peril of following what has become a distressingly familiar pattern: a portentous roll of publicity drums that builds up to a toot on an uncertain trumpet.

The trumpet-heralded introduction sounds smooth, all right, but the pastiche of instrumentals, background vocals and Dylan's lyrics fails to gel. The instrumentals and female vocalists in the chorus only serve to take away what power the lyrics have; in addition, the words themselves are not above suspicion, with lines like "All right, I'll take a chance, I'll fall in love with you" and the chorus "Are you going to risk it all, or is your love in vain?"
