...March 1990, no one came. But now that Lithuania, along with Latvia and Estonia, has reclaimed its freedom from the rubble of the Soviet state, foreign ministers and diplomats seem almost breathless in their rush to return. The first new ambassador on the scene was Denmark's Otto Borch, who said, "No assignment I have received has brought me greater pleasure than this one."

Morton, president of American Express, $57,000; Donald Kendall, chairman of PepsiCo, an unknown amount; James R. Shepley, president of Time Inc., $68,500; Thomas S. Gates, who was once Defense Secretary and chairman of the Morgan Guaranty Trust...

White House Trade Chief Peter Peterson promises to design a legislative package including just such measures; it certainly deserves sympathetic consideration...
