...contrast, the 4,000 Asians who had landed in Britain by the end of last week paid BOAC, British Caledonian and East African Airways a usuriously high charter fare of $286 a seat, more than the average family would pay on a scheduled flight. At their destination they found a mixed reception. Amin's threats of detention have created a climate of sympathy and good will for the victims of his mass expulsion of Asians holding British citizenship. But there still remains a strong undercurrent of racist opposition to the new arrivals. Responding to local pressures in some cities...
Lest anyone doubt that it is determined to bring worldwide travel within the reach of most Americans, the Civil Aeronautics Board last week relaxed its rules for low-cost charter flights. The CAB waived the requirement that people who want to fly charters must belong to a club, a union or some other "affinity group." All that a traveler now has to do is sign up for a trip with a travel agent at least three months before departure and plunk down a 25% deposit. Agents must recruit a minimum of 40 people for each trip; all members...

Included in the agreement were provisions for Australian teachers, an appeals system for major crimes, and transportation...
Worsening relations in recent years between Japanese and U.S. corporations have revealed flaws in the work of U.S. attorneys based in Japan. Coleman said American firms have found that litigation undertaken against their Japanese partners has been thwarted by the discovery that the corporate charter of their operation in Japan--negotiated by American lawyers residing there--violated Japanese law. As the Japanese government does not ordinarily investigate the legality of corporate charters except in the event of litigation, it may not learn of the existence, for instance, of an illegal "holding company" so long as the Japanese and American partners...
