Carter Faces Public Pessimism and Image Challenge
A perceptive political consultant says Carter’s perilous position stems from a lack of a resonant issue with voters. White House aides push party revitalization and media efforts, while governors and mayors cite bland leadership and unclear themes as the core weakness. The public appears disengaged, with few mentioning Carter or reacting to his policies.

Freedom and wealth in two political systems
The author argues wealth comes from human labor and natural resources, not money. He splits systems into freedom or slavery, cites Elvis Presley as a trading-robbery contrast, and condemns ideologies as excuses of bandits. Castro is labeled a robber, while society is a false concept. Freedom requires strength to outwit the bandits.

Moscow fears China’s rise shifts Cold War balance
The Hoover Institution reports that Moscow worries Beijing is countering Soviet influence worldwide and courting Europe for advanced weapons. Analysts say China’s post-Mao diplomacy and defense of Africa, Vietnam, and Europe put pressure on the Soviet Union. The piece notes a potential end to a single world Communist movement as China and the USSR drift apart. It also highlights cleanups of the Great Lakes and shifts in Chinese leadership away from Maoist orthodoxy, with officials praising student protests against the Gang of Four.
