Like other good Americans,
Representative Sam R. Hall, Jr. is con-

has hit Congress and other'branches of
government.
With considerable justice, however,
Hall views these events riot as an
isolated phenomenon but as .symp-
tomatic of the country as.a whole.
“Let’s face it, America is in a
period of moral and ethical decline un-
precedented in our history,” Hall
declares in his current-news letter. II

In a reversal of Ins performance elsewhere in Maine, Brown
was the most popular candidate in Lincoln County, home of

plant near the Coastal community ot Wiscasset
Here in New Hampshire the Brown campaign distributed
thousands of copies of an elaborate four color poster carrying
a Slop Seabrook headline and portraying the governor
national attention to the facility.
' Prominently displayed in Brown's basic campaign leaflet
here-was a statement of strong stfpport for those protesters
If Pm elected the next president. I guarantee you I'm not
going to license Seabrook but you're going to get sale, effi-
cient. economical alternatives,^That's my pledge "
In a day-long campaign lour along New Hampshire*
seacoast. the governor repeatedly criticized nuclear power. At
a rally here, for example, he charged that "Seabrook and
nuclear power are very basic symbols of the excesses and
irresponsibility in our country "
Brown's strategists plan to press the issue as the primaries
move into the Midwest a'nd West a' strategy shared by the
Campaign for Safe Energy, whose leaders have eschewed the
confrontation politics and radical tactics that have produced
only limited success during demonstrations at Seabrook and
other nuclear facilities.
Instead, that organization has dispatched articulate young
representatives to politely but firmly question the various
candidates about nuclear power during their scheduled cam-
paign appearances.
We want to have a presence all the way through the
primaries." says Douglas Phelps, a leader of the organization.
"We know that many people, all across the political spectrum,
are concerned about nuclear power even though there s no
reason to believe they’re going to change their voting patterns
their candidate support because of»the issue."
Phelps' gitiSilp expects to mount a major effort against
nuclear power during the primary campaigns in Connecticut.
New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and California. Similar
campaigns will be undertaken in Illinois and Florida if addi-
tional funds can be raised to support them
Because considerable skepticism about nuclear power
already exists in many of those states, the planned campaign
could have a profound impact on how the public views the
controversial issue in the future

Carter's top advisors hedging
on giving aid to Iranian Jews
By J ACK ANDERSON
WASHINGTON f- Jimmy
Carter's chary approach to
the problem of how to gain
the release of (he American
hostages hold by fanatic Ira
man militants is understand-
able He wants to bring our
diplomats back alive.
Inexcusable, however; is
the decision at the top levels
of his administration to
refuse refuge to Iranian
.Jews who are seeking
escape from persecution by
Ayatollah Khomeini s rabid-
ly religious followers
An estimated 100 Iranian
Jews, fearful of their lives
at the hands of the new
Islamic rulers, recently fled
' Tehran and arrived in
Europe By edict of Presi-
dent Carter's special Iranian
crisis team, they have been
consigned to limbo in Paris
and London, waiting desper-
ately for permission to come
to the United States as poll!
ieal exiles.
In contrast. Carter opened
the doors to the shah despite
explicit warnings that his
admission would trigger vio-
lence against Americans in
Iran. One secret cable, dated
Aug 2, 1979, predicted that
the U S Embassy would he
attacked and American hos-
tages would be seized
State Department ofti
cials, meanwhile, admit that
the Jewish refugees are
being barred lest Khomeini's
government be offended
"The Jews have been pul on
a back burner." one insider
explained Human rights

not part of our national
interest."

There are uglier over-

that revolutionary tribunals
might order their executions

PSYCHOLOGY
TODAY
By the Editors
of Psychology Today
"The conventional wisdom
used to be that unhappily
married people should remain
married for the good of the
children Today's convention-
al wisdom holds with equal
vigor, that an unhappy couple
might well divorce for the
good of the children, that
divorce that promotes the
happiness of the adults’-will
benefit the ehidren as Well.''
The reality is more compli-
cated, say two psychologists
who have just finished a mas-
sive study of children
involved in divorces. What is
good for the parents is not
always good for the kids."
. Judith S. Wallerstein and
Joan B. Kelly have just fin-
ished reinterviewing mem-
bers of 60 California families
with children who had gone
through divorce five years
earlier The results of their
"Children of Divorce
Project,” unique in the size
and in the span of years it
covers, have just been pub-
lished as a book, Surviving the
Break-up How Children and
Parents Cope with Divorce
(Basic Books)
The study’s overall conclu-
sion is that divorce does not
produce one pattern in
people's lives, but at Least
three, with many variations
"Among both adults and
children five years afterward,
we found about a quarter to
be resilient (those for whom
the divorce was successful),
half to be muddling through,
and a final quarter to be
bruised: failing to recover
from the divorce or looking
back to the predivorce family
with intense longing."
What made the biggest dif-
ference for the children,
Wallerstein and Kelly say,
was not the divorce itself, but
the presence or absence of
factors that make for good
adjustment and satisfaction in
all families; “psycologically
healthy parents and children
who are involved with one
another in appropriate ways."
Some children whom the
study found to be coping well
after a divorce had improved
“simply by escaping a dis-
turbed and cruel parent ’’
But "perhaps the most cru-
cial factor influencing a good
readjustment," the reserchers
say, was "a stable, loving
relationship with both
parents, between whom fric-
tion had largely dissipated,
leaving regular, dependable
visiting patterns that the par-
ent with custody encouraged."
Though 77 percent of the
children lived with their
mothers, nearly one quarter
continued to see their fathers
weekly, if not several times
weekly, and 20 percent more
visited two to three times a
month.
"Except in extreme eases
in which a father was clearly
abusing children or seriously
disturbed, some contact
seemed better than none at
all," Wallerstein and Kelly
conclude. "The father’s pres-
ence kept the child from a
worrisome concern with aban-
donment and total rejection
and from the nagging self-
doubts that follow such
worry."
Overall, though individual
children had improved or
worsened over the five years
of the study, the researchers
found that the numbers of
children within the categories
of resilient, muddling through,
and bruised had remained rel-
atively stable. Hence, they
conclude, “it seems that a
divorced family per se is nei-
ther more nor less beneficial
for children than an unhappy-
marriage
"Unfortunately, neither
unhappy marriage nor
divorce is especially congen-
ial for children Each imposes
its own set of differing stress-
es,"
The study's major finding
the importance of a child's
keeping a relationship with
both original parents — points
to a need for new ways to
keep parents sharing respon-
sibilities after a divorce,
Wallerstein and Kelly say.
For a start, they consider the
increasing consideration of
joint legal custody, in which
each parent has the right to
make important decisions
about the life of a child, “a
step in the right direction.”
