Washington Star profiles Rep. William H. Natcher of Kentucky as a model legislator. The 23-year veteran reportedly never misses a vote, rejects campaign contributions, and runs a tight staff of eight with no press aide. He opens mail at 7 a.m., keeps a modest payroll, and prides himself on thrift and discipline despite Metro opposition and district criticism.

Carter Daughters Learns Lesson On Eritreans
Plains Georgia resident and former Governor Jimmy Carter answers his daughter Amy’s question about Eritrea at a fish fry. He admits prior ignorance, explains Eritrean history, and says he has read about the subject, showing continued curiosity and caution on his vice presidential deliberations. He mentions consulting party leaders, narrowing to a small candidate pool, and requesting CIA briefings after the Democratic convention. He also comments that he regards President Ford as a good, honest man but critiques his leadership.
