...Kremlin is worried he will do just that. During Cyrus Vance's mission to Moscow in April, a Russian listened with annoyance as a visitor from Washington remonstrated with him about Soviet intervention in Africa. Finally the Russian interrupted angrily: "How can you Americans complain so self-righteously about what we are doing outside your sphere of influence when you are making mischief right in our own front yard...
...early April, after Hanoi announced that all free enterprise in the South had been abolished, the major exodus began. This belated effort to stamp out the vestiges of capitalism was a particular blow to the Chinese, who have long been among South Viet Nam's most thriving businessmen and black marketeers. In the enclave of Cholon, the Chinatown of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), Chinese merchants had succeeded in cornering the trade in black-market rice, as well as such luxury goods as American bourbon, Algerian orange juice, German cameras and Tiger Balm from Hong Kong.

While the chasm between Ecevit and Caramanlis remains wide, it is heartening that they are once again willing to speak across...
Just as everyone had feared, last week's inflation figures were a stunner, and the most appalling thing about them was the high cost of eating. Not only does April's .9% rise in consumer prices mean that the economy is once again in double-digit inflation?11.4% on an annual basis ?but food prices are climbing more than twice as fast, 23.8%. The rise is turning the nation's supermarket shoppers into an army of walking wounded and making grossly naive the Administration's January prediction that food prices would go up by only 4% to 6% this...
