Carter's assault on the bill, in which he was opposed by all Democratic congressional leaders, was part of a presidential campaign to exploit the anti-inflationary, antitax, anti-Government-spending mood of the voters.

It is not a purely selfish motivation--his students are his primary concern, but with all of Yale...

The Russians have craftily installed the meters on their side and pay for the gas at about one-third the world price by bartering low-grade gasoline. New proposals are being discussed to exploit huge Afghan copper and fluorite deposits on terms that one international expert likens to those for Cuban sugar; such deals could tie Afghanistan irrevocably to the Soviet Union...
