...Accord. In sum, a consensus seems to be forming that something should be done to get the world off the price roller coaster. This does not mean, however, that anything will actually be done. So far, Kissinger has offered little more than a willingness to talk, and some deeply divisive issues must be overcome before any stabilization agreements can be reached. For one thing, the U.S., which produces 85% of its own raw materials, still believes that the free market balances supply and demand well enough so that stabilization pacts should only smooth out the wilder swings; but many developing...

However, the Supreme Court and the judge are acting in accord with an unambiguous dictate of the Constitution: it is unlawful to deliberately execute plans to make the distribution of students in public school facilities racially biased. Changing the pattern of busing is the best available means of rectifying the inequity, and preliminary evidence is available to document its educational value...
