There have been moments along the difficult presidential journey of Jimmy Carter when he seemed close to fulfilling his own prophecy that he could "achieve greatness." He recognized the gravity of the energy problem early. He had the courage to see the peril of inflation and change his course. In the glades of Camp David, when his goodness, his determination and his sincerity brought Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat together for peace, Carter seemed ready to move beyond historical inhibitions...
...David Hotel last week. Strauss was in town on the first official stop of an eight-day tour of the Middle East as President Carter's super-ambassador to the Palestinian-autonomy talks. The former Secretary of State apparently was in Jerusalem on private business-even though his journey was embellished with nearly all the trappings of a state occasion (see box).

At their most triumphantly awful, family vacations can compete with a Long Day's Journey Into Night or anything else O'Neill wrote. People in their normal working lives have jobs, roles, friends and routines to diffuse and absorb emotions. In the theater of a summer house, family issues 20 years buried are liable to come up thrashing like lobsters. The husband gets drunk and insults his visiting brother, who makes a ghastly effort to climb in bed with...
