...successful has Carter's human rights policy been? If its aim is to burnish the U.S. image abroad, the policy has been a great triumph in many regions. From Latin America, TIME Correspondent Barry Hillenbrand reports that among the people???but not the officials?Carter is fast becoming as admired as the much venerated John Kennedy. Notes a leading opposition politician in Chile: "The U.S. is now in the forefront of the fight for freedom and has once again assumed moral and spiritual leadership...

Within many a capitalist country, the free market is being steadily hemmed in by the power of omnipresent government regulators, mass unions and giant corporations.

In January seven Nobel prizewinners, including Economists Gunnar Myrdal and Kenneth J.

They called for an intensive search for "alternatives to the prevailing...
