Back Pain and Bert Lance in a Georgian Controversy
Eighty percent will experience back pain in life and low back pain is costly for ages 30 to 60. In Georgia, Bert Lance faced scrutiny as the comptroller regional director rescinded a potentially embarrassing agreement with Calhoun First National Bank a day before his nomination became public in 1976. The Federal Reserve added the National Bank of Georgia to a margin list, complicating stock sales. Lance owns about 200,000 shares to cover debts and avoid conflicts, with experts split on significance. An ABC News interview from Plains, Georgia, aired tonight, with President Carter saying he is not aware of proven improprieties but would accept Lance’s resignation if proven.
