Last week, after months of public sniping over the giant labor federation's course, the strained relationship approached the breaking point when Reuther, boss of the United Auto Workers, resigned from the A.F.L.-C.l.O.'s policy-making executive council, along with three other U.A.W. officials. Reuther stays on as chief of the powerful industrial-union department-a coalition of old C.I.O.-type unions within the A.F.L.-C.I.O.-but nobody knows for how long. At its next convention, in April, Reuther's 1,500,000-member Auto Workers union, the federation's largest, will consider whether...
...been described by Western observers as "a party and a half" system, with the L.D.P. being the party and the opposition adding up to the half. Japan's Socialists, who control more than 12 million votes, are the nation's second biggest voting bloc, but Party Boss Kozo Sasaki, 65, is a Peking-lining fanatic who is even farther to the left than Communist Party Leader Sanzo Nozaka, 74, who last year struck a course away from Peking and more toward Moscow.

...provides a better answer to that question than Edward Bennett Williams, 46, the country's top criminal lawyer. Williams has passionately defended ex-Teamster Boss Dave Beck, Bernard Goldfine and Adam Clayton Powell, to say nothing of assorted Communists, spies and murderers.

Moving Out. Last August, after seven years of negotiations and 50 visits by Soviet delegations, Fiat concluded a contract to build an $880 million auto factory in Togliatti, a Soviet city re-named in memory of Italy's late Communist Party boss. When it is completed in 1972, the plant will produce 600,000 cars a year, and quadruple Russia's auto production. Italy's giant, government-owned petrochemical complex, E.N.I., is negotiating with the Russians to build a natural-gas pipeline from Lvov in the western Ukraine to Trieste to replace the fuel from its nearly...
