...weeks ago, Talbott was back at his desk in Washington. But he found that his recent opportunity to "look at Iran from both sides," literally as well as in terms of East-West diplomacy, had left him well prepared to write this week's cover story on the impact of the war on U.S. policy...
Carter has generally tried to steer a conservative course, a rare and difficult goal for a Democratic President, but his compass has been erratic. He has actually introduced four anti-inflation plans. None have had much impact, partly because he has been reluctant to propose the kind of slashing required to get the federal budget into balance-provided he could have pushed such cuts through Congress. Last whiter the Administration submitted its normal budget, but then, when stunned by fresh inflation figures and an anticipated deficit of $16 billion, rushed out another in six weeks...
...many leaders of women's groups or opinion experts expect Reagan's promise to elevate a woman to the Supreme Court to have much impact on the female vote.

Raja'i was even more conciliatory when...
...Harvard Crimson's inept reporting irresponsibly allowed Robert Klitgaard's unsubstantiated and out-of-context statements to have detrimental impact on affirmative action policies and programs throughout this country. The "Exams Bias" article was written without any data or description of the methodology used and was also presented in the absence of any basic journalistic inquiry. Since when do raw scores devoid of personal context guage admission? Klitgaard's assertions completely ignore the importance of the socio-economic history of minority groups and women in this country. Why is Klitgaard trying to quantify and reduce to black and white...
