Inspired by Stanford's experience, surgeons in England last year resumed transplants after a five-year hiatus. But while the 24 operations done so far have won public applause, critics complain that the procedure is absorbing National Health Service funds better spent in educating citizens on the need for eating a sound diet and not smoking. The number of people who can be helped by transplants, says Dr. Peter Draper of London's Guy's Hospital, "is insignificant when compared with the 160,000 [Britons] who die every year from heart diseases...
Some people used to complain about what they called an "imperial presidency," but now the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction. We have not an imperial presidency but an imperiled presidency. Under today's rules, which include some misguided "reforms," the presidency does not operate effectively. That is a very serious development, and it is harmful to our overall national interests...
That some feminists are thinking about such bills indicates their dissatisfaction with Carter's performance.

Maryanne Murphy, head of the ERA task force in Boston, flatly observes the end result: "Not one state has ratified the amendment since Carter took office."

At that time, the immediate outlook suggested not the illusion of stable recovery and growth that now prevails, but an equally unreal threat of an approaching slump. Indeed, economists who worked for Gerald Ford at the time complain bitterly that misleading and later revised figures for August, September and October 1976 may have cost him the election by allowing Carter to warn of an imminent downturn under the Republicans. In fact, within three months after Carter's Inauguration, the economy was expanding so briskly...
