...natural gas to the U.S. López Portillo has already indicated to Ambassador Lucey that he wants to strike a bargain on gas if a way can be found without inflaming his political opposition. For the moment, however, Carter is expected to propose only a gentleman's agreement that Mexico promise to begin selling gas to the U.S. when demand outstrips domestic supplies, perhaps within a decade. The price would be negotiated in the future...
Schlesinger's running war with the Mexicans started in December, 1977 when Foreign Minister Santiago Roel and Petroleum Chief Diaz Serrano came to Washington to seek approval of an already negotiated deal between their government and U.S. pipeline companies for Mexican natural gas. The tentative agreement would have delivered 2 billion cu. ft. of gas per day to the U.S. at $2.60 per thousand cu. ft. More important, the deal would have helped speed up the development of the Mexican oil industry. But Schlesinger dumbfounded his visitors by stating that the proposal was unacceptable; the Mexican price...
...Hofer. When the team's last coach left in April 1977, the new guard at the Athletic Department called in the captains and presented them with a $21,000 debt that they had accumulated over the previous seven years.

Italy's 40th government since the fall of Fascism in 1943 collapsed with a familiar crash last week, creating a crisis that presaged general elections and, quite possibly, renewed political terrorism. Charging that the Christian Democrats had reneged on an agreement to consult them on important government decisions, the Communists withdrew from an alliance of major parties that had supported the one-party government of Premier Giulio Andreotti in Parliament. Without the backing of the Communist, Socialist, Republican and Social Democratic parties, Andreotti mildly told the Chamber of Deputies, he had no choice except to step down as head...
Designer Cardin at 56 has attached his name to practical fantasies that can be worn, walked on, slept in, sat upon, munched, drunk, flown, pedaled or driven in 69 countries. His latest coup is an agreement to serve as exclusive consultant to China's embryonic fashion industry. The Parisian may have his haute couture models reproduced in China, where the workmanship is exquisite and cheap, creating a new export trade for the Middle Kingdom. If the contract works out, 10% of Cardin-Cathay will be reserved for sale inside China, which is probably wise, considering the fact that...
