...make life increasingly uncomfortable for officials on all levels of government, indeed for all Frenchmen, and little is being done to stop them. In the Limoges area last week, for example, peasants parked their tractors across a well-traveled tourist road; when motorists tried to turn back from the barrier, they found themselves trapped by more tractors in the opposite direction...
...year agreement that would set ambitious goals for U.S.-Soviet trade through 1984. One barrier to increased trade has been the Jackson amendment, which for the past year has kept the Administration from granting the U.S.S.R. the trade concessions of most-favored-nation status until Russia allows free emigration from its borders.

The plane is specifically designed to replace aging U.S. aircraft in the West German Luftwaffe and navy, the Royal Air Force and the Italian air force...

Things like cursing, bare feet in class and smoking are not, in my opinion, substantial reasons for shutting down a school that has eliminated the teacher-student barrier and has helped many of us find ourselves and learn to reach others. Alternative schools may still be experimental, but we deserve a trial before we are condemned...
