...most pressing tasks was to assess the mounting danger of upheavals within the "crescent of crisis" stretching from the eastern Mediterranean to the Arabian Sea (see cover stories). Nearly as important was the opportunity for a free wheeling exchange about the West's changing relationship with Moscow and Peking, the deadlock over SALT, the U.S.S.R.'s continuing military buildup, and the warfare in southern Africa...
...Soviet rifles above their heads and dancing like dervishes on the tennis court of the Hilton Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The reason for their jubilation, in this nightmare, was that they had just engineered a huge increase in the price of crude oil. Unfortunately, this was no Arabian Nights fantasy but sobering reality last week. Several Arab ministers really did take part in a "Dance of the Rifles" to celebrate the sixth price boost by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries since 1973, and potentially one of the most devastating...

The International Fiscal Association spent $20,000 to hire Soprano Leontyne Price, Conductor Arthur Fiedler and the National Symphony Orchestra for the final evening's entertainment.

He insists that a woman must find at the cosmetics counter the same symbol that may have caught her eye in an ad, so that she can instantly identify the product...
...blacks of- South Africa. For us to have accepted money for those ads would have given us, in effect, clients who would use our services to help continue a monstrous system of repression and exploitation. For much the same reason, three years ago we refused advertisements from the Arabian-American Oil Company, a firm that would not hire people who happened to be black, Jewish or female for the job openings it was advertising. Again, we continued our policy of refusing to be a party to an obvious injustice...
