...might have been sheer coincidence that President Reagan s first official act after his close brush with death last week was signing a bill for a $147 million reduction in dairy price supports But don't bet on it. Later in the week the Senate approved, by a vote of 88 to 10, $36.9 billion in budget reductions. Alan Greenspan, former chief economist to President Ford and a member of TIME'S Board of Economists, explains the surprising ease with which the budget cuts are passing in Congress...

...performance early this week in Austin, the company winds up a 29-day swing through 18 cities and towns in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

WITH FAST, INTUITIVE brush strokes Carlos Diegues" Bye Bye Brazil captures the spirit of an entire subcontinent in the flux of modernization. Rambling from the dusty old town of Pirhanhas in the Northeast where the facades of buildings look like pastel stagesets, to the parched hopelessness of the plains, down into the teeming Amazon jungles and out to the polluted, industrial port cities and the awkward metropolis of Brasilia, the film follows its motley heroes feeling their way from the old to new. Diegues revels in the journey, sketching his way across the country recording the colors and complexities...
