...survey portrays a President in considerable trouble on a wide variety of issues (see chart) as he approaches the halfway mark of his first term. Of the respondents, 37% say they think less well of him now than when he first took office; only 11% think better of him. Moreover, Carter's image of trust has blurred. While 46% think he is a leader who can be trusted, 49% have doubts about...
...insist that abdication in favor of her son is out of the question for Elizabeth, barring, of course, incapacitating illness. But the Queen is doing her best to see that Charles' long apprenticeship will be a useful one, and so is Charles, who has sat down with advisers to chart an independent career akin to his father's. He is already privy to the red "boxes," locked leather cases of official state papers, that Westminster and Whitehall dispatch daily to the Queen (even Prince Philip does not receive them). Charles can also expect to act more and more...
...income grew from $110 to $560, and for families with twice the average income it increased from $180 to $896. On top of that, homeowners must also pay Social Security and a whole range of other state taxes that have been growing explosively in recent years (see chart).

Only the property tax looms up once a year (or sometimes once a quarter) as a lump-sum payment of hundreds or thousands of dollars. As such, it is an easy...
...golfers circumnavigated the 6647-yard, par-70 layout in 674 strokes for the two-day, 36-hole New England NCAA Qualifying Tournament. They finished sixth in the 12-school field. Yale, which went into Friday's round with a 13-stroke lead, continued to chart a straight and narrow course over its home 18, winning the tourney with a 636 team aggregate. The Elis thus earned a berth in the NCAAs, which will be held at Eugene, Ore., this June...
...final days, empires begin to turn faster and faster, careening along and over everything. As the fuses blow and the fires of decadence burn brighter and brighter they whip apart, spewing people and culture everywhere. Then the barbarians--or the Richard Nixons--ride into town. Perhaps future historians will chart the beginning of the fall of the American Imperium as that frenzied year of Tet and Chicago, 1968. Or maybe they will see it as our coming of age--in the highlands and paddies of Indochina the distinctions of war blurred into My Lai Four and the question became...
