...there are no signs that any movement can be expected soon in stalled East-West relations. Administration officials hope that the U.N. General Assembly session that opens in September will provide the venue for Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to talk with Shultz-and possibly with Reagan. In the aftermath of the KAL 007 crisis, Gromyko was refused entry last year to international airports in New York and New Jersey, and he decided to cancel his annual U.N. appearance. The veteran diplomat has been included on this session's roster of speakers, but there is no official word from...
...Soviets have been unrelentingly critical of West Germany in the aftermath of the deployment. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko coldly rebuffed West German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher's call for a return to arms talks during a meeting in Moscow last May. Since then the Soviet press has continued to vilify West Germany as the Third Reich reincarnate, publishing cartoons that depict members of the Kohl government with goose-stepping Nazi troopers...

Such moral complexities do not disappear when Gordimer addresses, directly or by analogy, the problems of South Africa. At the Rendezvous of Victory shows the aftermath of a successful black revolution in an unnamed land. Broad social justice has unquestionably triumphed, but the blessings are bestowed unevenly. The new regime finds itself increasingly embarrassed by Sinclair ("General Giant") Zwedu, the military hero of the war for freedom. The blunt soldier does not mix easily in the brave new world of international alliances and monetary congresses. His former colleagues shunt Zwedu toward oblivion, using the lure of well-heeled debauchery...
...best served if U.S. industry can learn to live with a robust dollar and the new reality of international competition. Too many companies became complacent in the 1950s and 1960s, when the U.S. had a big lead in technology and foreign competitors were still rebuilding their economies in the aftermath of World War II. Observes Robert Gough, a senior economist with Data Resources, a consulting firm: "The domestic market was so rich that the U.S. was not as aggressive in developing foreign markets as other countries." Many industries, including autos and steel, let factories become outmoded. Companies also granted wage...
