That speech pushed Carter too far to the left, and he later tried to move back toward the middle. But his position in the political spectrum remained unclear, and he alienated many of the independents. On Nov. 2 Ford carried white America by a narrow margin. The Georgian was saved by the Americans who trusted him most: the blacks. They felt at ease with the white Southerner who had fought, though vainly, to integrate his hometown church, and who had put so many blacks into government at all levels in Georgia. Indeed, they had more faith in Carter than...
...unclear whether most of the unrest is being caused by last-ditch supporters of the discredited radicals or by squabbling factions trying to settle old scores with political enemies. Whatever the reason, stringent measures are being taken to suppress troublemakers, who have been denounced as "criminal gangs." Earlier Hua was forced to send 12,000 troops into Fukien province to deal with "sabotage." From Yunnan last week came stern warnings that "we must resolutely suppress the counterrevolutionaries who beat, wreck and loot...

Sudden Death. The primary cause of this breathing failure remains unclear, though sometimes it appears to be linked with obesity. In any case, drowsiness is only the mildest byproduct. The disorder can lead to hypoxia (low blood oxygen), hypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease and in some cases sudden death. Nor is it easily treatable. Conventional sleeping pills can actually worsen the problem by increasing the breathing difficulty. Removing the tonsils and adenoids to make a larger breathing passage seems to work only in children. Shedding weight makes little difference. Jokes the still overweight Siegel: "I've lost...
Figuring Damages. Though it is still unclear just how the damages against Nixon and his co-defendants will be computed-the judge left that to a later hearing-Halperin's lawyers want it figured according to the formula now in the federal wiretap law: $100 per day per victim, which for the five Halperins for 630 days would add up to $315,000 against each of the three defendants...
