For the first time since Americans were taken hostage in Iran, less than half of the public approves of President Carter's handling of the crisis, an Associated Press-NBC News poll says. rne public, increasingly frustrated with the failure of Carter's efforts, is split on whether every step necessary ? including military action ? should be ] taken to try to free the hostages. The result is that Carter's overall rating with the public has plunged to last summer's levels, as public judgment of his handling of foreign affairs has slipped to equal public opinion of his work on the economy. Even Carter's new anti-inflation plan did not budge American opinion of his work, largely because people don't think it will work. Ihans go wild in Louisville LOUISVILLE, Ky. ?

How do you convince South Carolinians that fresh fish from the Palmetto State is just as good as frozen fish shipped halfway across the country?
