While far from alone in opposing abortion, the Roman Catholic Church in the U.S. is its most visible and vocal foe-and Carter has been one of the bishops' targets. Acting on the advice of Senator Walter Mondale, Carter sought the meeting with the bishops in an effort to effect a ceasefire. Ever since his victory last January in the Iowa caucuses, he has drawn criticism from right-to-life groups for his refusal to support a constitutional amendment on abortion.

...rare; indeed, it is to be expected in the nation's largest union, which has 2.3 million members ranging from over-the-road truck drivers to nurses and policemen. But a report last week by the Washington-based Professional Drivers Council (PROD), a small but increasingly vocal organization of reformist Teamsters, amounts to one of the strongest indictments yet of corrupt, self-serving and autocratic Teamster leadership...
