In a political column from Winchester, the writer notes Carter’s early administration progress and challenges. The piece contrasts Carter with prior favorites, cites discontent over Theodore Sorenson’s influence, Ray Marshall as Labor Secretary, and a controversial draft evaders pardon, framing mixed public reaction.
James J. Kilpatrick analyzes the Carter administration's early days. He weighs plus and minus entries from the inaugural period, noting Sorenson's CIA nomination as a blunder and the overall competent cabinet, while Carter gains legitimacy and early goodwill.
A Virginia General Assembly opinion piece condemns attempts to bypass committee rules in the ERA ratification fight. It notes House and Senate actions to circumvent committees, warns of slippery precedent, and urges retention of established procedural norms.
Carter confronts Ford era defense decisions on SALT talks with the Soviet Union and the Navy carrier program. The new administration faces limits on defense cuts, M X missile funding, cruise missiles, and debate over a successor to nuclear powered aircraft carriers amid congressional and military opposition.
James Reston analyzes Rene Levesque's push for an independent Quebec and the attempt to attract American investment. He notes Washington's caution, the fitful American memory of states rights, and the risk of Canada breaking into rival regions amid broader trade and immigration concerns.
