Reagan, still handsome and preternaturally youthful-looking at 55, has carefully eschewed support of extreme right-wing causes in favor of a pragmatic middle-of-the-road approach-and his managers have made certain that the far right has no place in his campaign organization. Speaking to housewives in vegetable-growing Salinas, he conveyed just the right blend of humor and concern at the rising cost of living. "You ladies," he charmed, "know that if you stand in front of the asparagus counter at the supermarket these days, it's cheaper to eat money." To the charge that...
Gouged Eyes. The Red-carrot approach consisted of offering new recruits to the Peasants Liberation Party a salary of 500 baht per month and the promise of a new tractor for the village. Now the ante is far higher. In Nakhon Phanom province, the Red Chinese are offering a 50,000-baht reward for the murder of Provincial Education Officer Thavil Chanlawong, one of the northeast's most effective anti-Communist workers. In one Nakhon Phanom district, the terrorists have killed 16 villagers in the past year, kidnaped six more, and early this month shot the village doctor...
...effect is that of making Mondrian's Boogie-Woogie paintings swing. Agam calls his works "contrapuntals," has even named one Homage to Johann Sebastian Bach for its fugue of color. He uses this oblique approach, he says, to avoid the Judaic religious restrictions on graven images. "In flux, one cannot perceive reality, but only a part of it," he says.

...Canadian National's reckoning, on a downtown-to-downtown basis the turbotrains should approach the time-including traveling to and from airports-that the Montreal-Toronto trip takes by propjet Viscount. In fact, the ride will be somewhat similar: passengers will hear a faint engine whine, get free airline-style meals, sit in aluminum coaches slightly pressurized to keep out dust and dampen track noise. A pendular suspension system tilts the car inward on curves, thus eliminating the lurches of ordinary trains and enabling the train to hit 110 m.p.h. on existing tracks, and eventually 160 m.p.h. on improved...
Because of this tradition of discrimination, Hudgins says, a Negro who hesitates to approach a white bank feels that his financial problems will be heard with a more sympathetic car at Freedom National Bank. He cities the bank's attractions: its staff is 98 per cent Negro; the bank is located in the heart of Harlem, on 125th St. between 7th and 8th Avenues; its trademark is made up of an F for Freedom and an equals sign. And 30 per cent of the bank's $5 million in loans goes for first mortgages, a particularly difficult kind of loan...
