Though the U.S. is committed to providing Thailand with extensive weaponry (but no troops) in case of a Vietnamese invasion, Washington has granted Bangkok only $30.8 million in military assistance this year. Peking has assured the Thais that it would come to Bangkok's aid with troops if their country is invaded. China's invasion of Viet Nam last February provided few clues to the capabilities of the 3.5 million-man People's Liberation Army, since the Chinese withdrew before engaging in a major encounter with regular Vietnamese forces. Currently, China is trying to upgrade its obsolescent...
...quota; imports so far in 1979 have averaged only 8.145 million bbl. a day. For 1980 the daily limit will be set somewhere between 8.2 million and 8.5 million bbl. Because the recession in the U.S. economy has begun, imports probably would not exceed that level in any case. If the quota were to stay at roughly that point in 1981 and succeeding years (a decision that may have to be made by another President), it might begin to bite! The nation would be forced to conserve fuel, or produce more itself, to accommodate normal growth in the economy...
...testing may improve the lot of the nation's slow learners.

In Tampa, after the decision was announced, Ezell Berrien, who testified in the case, said: "We're very happy about the ruling. I'm not against testing. I just think it should be done fairly...
...guard against any unwitting influences on the patients or themselves, the doctors did not know which "drug" was being used in any particular case until the end of the test. In the first phase of the experiment, patients who had received placebos experienced less pain than those in the naloxone group. But when the experiment was continued, patients initially in the placebo group but now getting the blocker experienced an increase in pain. In other words, the placebo response diminished. Levine's explanation: somehow placebos apparently activate a body pain-relieving system that relies on endorphin. Says he: "Placebos...
...small snip changed the mood of the story. "I felt the song was going to be perceived as wistful thinking," says the director today. "The audience perceived the film as a current event." Spielberg may return the song to the soundtrack in what must surely be the most extraordinary case of film tinkering ever: he is readying a revised version of Close Encounters, one of the top ten grossers of all time, for release next spring. Besides trimming sequences and adding scenes, Spielberg plans to add new footage to, yes, the ending...
