Carter son Amy joins Washington public schools sparking debate
The decision to enroll Amy Carter in Washington public schools drew daily inquiries to Stevens Elementary and highlighted how few children of officials attend the D C system. A Washington Post survey found only two Congress members with children in majority black schools, prompting broader questions of policy and elitism as many officials send their own children elsewhere.

Carter's Problem in a Fable of Jobs and Machines
Art Buchwald uses a satirical tale to critique President-elect Carter's focus on jobs and economic growth. A company, Rootin, installs 1000-worker replacement gear from Glutton, laying off Laidlaw and others, while sales of their product slump. The dialogue critiques unemployment, recession, and policy limits, ending with the line Carter's problem is not theirs.
