...Jimmy Carter wants as his new Secretary of State, not surprisingly, disagrees with his predecessor on the issue that precipitated Vance's departure -the aborted raid to rescue the hostages. "I'd be disappointed if that option had not been explored and tried if feasible," says Ed Muskie. But he adds that he does not feel "comfortable" with the military options and believes the side effects entail "pretty high risks." Though he has no exact formula as yet, the Senator from Maine would like to offer Iran some incentives to surrender the hostages-what he calls "a carrot...
...arguer. He also knows how to accept defeat. He's a compromiser in the best sense. He has an innate decency to go along with a good intellectual capacity. He'll be tough with the Soviets, both in getting a deal and sticking to it." Says Carter: "Ed Muskie doesn't have to come to me to make sure I prop him up." He will have enough clout, continued the President, "not to be eaten alive by the State Department bureaucracy before his feet are on the ground...

...vague, loophole-ridden Core legislation, arguing that his own specialized field could not possibly be considered superflous in a liberal education. But they had little fear of being frozen out of the Core altogether because the Faculty had voted to allow 80 to 100 courses, even more than Gen Ed offered in any single year. In truth, this mulitiplicity belies Rosovsky's aim of providing a "solid and shared base of knowledge" to stem a growing tide of academic specialization and pre-professionalism...
...this is rather a thin deceit to cover the grim truth of Rosovsky's predicament, that few professors are willing to stray from their chosen academic niches. Indeed, the decline of Gen Ed in the last two decades testifies to the gradual disappearance of broad-based academicians willing to synthesize the range of material necessary to lead a survey course.
