...Wednesday, after his brief stopoff in Egypt, Carter is booked to fly to Paris for a wreath-laying at l'Arc de Triomphe, a walk along Normandy's Omaha Beach, one of the first to be stormed by Allied liberators in 1944, and dinner with President Valery Giscard d'Estaing at Versailles. Carter is expected to brief Giscard on the U.S.-Soviet strategic arms talks and will also discuss U.S. concern over the booming international arms business and the spread of atomic weapons. As a favor to Giscard, who leads a center-right political coalition that faces...
Much of the northern half of Brooklyn is turning into Bushwicks. The white neighborhoods in the south half--Midwood, Flatlands, Brighton Beach, Mill Basin, Canarsie, Bay Ridge--look north and fear, because the poverty seems to be creeping ever closer. And for many of these people there's nowhere left to run. They're willing to make their stand, as they put it, because somebody has to. The older people especially, with fixed incomes and meager lives, lock themselves in at night to avoid becoming victims and tremble at approaching footsteps in the day--they have no place...
...private jet for last week's price-setting meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in Venezuela, Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani picked up his Arab worry beads to take them along.

But anyone who is interested in the ocean-from Jacques Cousteau to the vacationing urbanite curious about the formation of a beach-should enjoy diving beneath the covers of the Rand McNally Atlas of the Oceans and coming back for regular plunges thereafter. Like a galleon full of gold, the Atlas overflows with treasures, details of life in, under and around the edges of the vast roiling arenas where earthly life evolved...
Since its shoestring beginning in an Ocean Park, Calif., garage, Synanon has done very well by itself. The taxexempt, nonprofit organization has 883 adults and 300 children living in luxury on two ranches in the Sierra foothills, beach-front property in Santa Monica and Tomales Bay and in a converted San Francisco paint factory. Most members pay a minimum $400 a month for room, board and uplift, but some contribute much more. One woman has donated more than $1 million. Synanon's assets, including ten aircraft and 400 cars, trucks and motorcycles, total almost $30 million. Its advertising...
