...White House officials insisted that Carter's absence was neither intended as a snub nor taken as such by Belgrade. Ambassador Eagleburger told reporters in Belgrade: "You are wrong if you presume that the embassy knows that there is great unhappiness with the [attendance of the] Vice President instead of the President." If the embassy did not know it, the White House apparently learned enough to consider adding a Belgrade stopover to Carter's scheduled trip to Italy next month...

By murdering a hostage, the terrorists apparently thought they could force the British government to meet their safe conduct demand.

When the nation's money supply declined at an annual rate of 1.6% or $6.2 billion to $382.9 billion in the past three months instead of rising 5% as originally targeted by the Fed, economists thought the central bank might be ready to turn on the money tap once again.
