Since he is adept in French, Italian, German and Spanish ("and I'm beginning to understand Swedish after seeing 20 Bergman films"), he rarely has to read subtitles on foreign films-except to criticize the accuracy of the translation. For this week's cover story he had the reporting of TIME correspondents in practically every city where films are made to supplement his own critical viewing of virtually every foreign and domestic film of consequence in the past decade. Working with Senior Editor William Forbis, he aimed to produce not only a good story but a sensitive guide...
Belaunde quickly proved that he too could be adept at maneuver. The night before the strike, his government made a fast deal with an influential, Communist-dominated division of APRA's own union, extracting a no-strike pledge in return for settlement of the ceramics factory dispute. The rest of the union, loudly deploring Belaunde's alliance with Communists, went ahead with the general strike. But the government counter-maneuver left the union off bal ance.

Reed, 58, who spent almost ten years buying and selling oil leases before they took over Texas Gulf in 1941. The Reed brothers have also been adept at oil prospecting. Their greatest strike was the 150 million bbl. Headlee Field in West Texas' Permian Basin. But that was in 1952, and the costs of finding another one like it today are staggering. The best prospects remaining are Louisiana deep holes that cost $700,000 each to bring...
