Unlikely Friendship. How are the coalition partners getting along? So far, amazingly well. Burly Franz Josef Strauss, boss of the C.D.U.'s autonomous Bavarian branch, is working smoothly in his post as Economics Minister with Finance Minister Karl Schiller, who is a Socialist. Kiesinger has correct, if cool, relations with Socialist Leader Willy Brandt, who is both Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister.

It now provides sophisticated instruction in sex education and natural childbirth; last year the Y.W.s in Oakland, San Francisco, Pasadena and Los Angeles started special clubs for unwed mothers that offer not only companionship but also baby sitting and employment services...

"We believe Parliament will be the Greek people," he said...

Seeking to profit from a semitropical climate that allows four harvests a year, the government encouraged the island's 835,000 farm families to branch out from staple rice and sugar into such profitable cash crops as pineapples, asparagus, bananas and mushrooms. Result: with agricultural output rising 6% a year, Taiwan is not only able to feed itself one of the highest-calorie diets in Asia but has also developed a profitable farm-export market...
