Bear Hugs. As they listen to Arab fulminations, the Russians are becoming more cautious about their involvement with the Arabs. They gave a bear hug to Algeria's Houari Boumediene when he visited Moscow last week-but little else. They were aware that Boumediene is trying to stake a claim to leadership of the Arab left, but they made plain that Nasser is still their No. 1 man in the Middle East; after all, they have already replaced 200 of his 350 destroyed planes.

So far this year, consumers have been paying off old bills and pouring...
...high-cost coal mines with vast subsidies. That spending spree, matched by consumers and fueled by galloping wage increases, kept prices moving steeply upward. When the alarmed Bundesbank stepped in with sharply higher interest rates, bank credit became so scarce and expensive that industrial expansion fell sharply, and some cautious manufacturers began shortening their work week. The ensuing downturn helped to topple Ludwig Erhard's government last year...
