...American Jew is capable of responding creatively to the challenge presented by black antiSemitism. "We Jews, of all peoples," says Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld of Cleveland's Fairmount Temple, "should be able to feel empathy with Negro frustration and anger. When we look deep into our Jewish conscience, we admit that it is right that the Negro should expect more of us."

Editor in Chief Manzini defends his approach to the birth-control controversy with a particularly beguiling argument. Criticism of Humanae Vitae has been played up so much elsfewhere, he maintains, that L'Osservatore must be one-sided...
...sales dropped off. Imports squeezed profits by putting downward pressure on steel prices. To hold on to its markets, for example, even U.S. Steel Corp. resorted to some unaccustomed price discounting. If, as appears likely, the Japanese and European cutbacks produce firmer prices, domestic steelmakers will have to admit that the voluntary agreements were better than nothing-although they are likely to continue demanding mandatory quotas...
