...swelling uneasiness over Watergate and the worsening specter of inflation, the Dow lost some 180 points in 60 days toward the end of 1973. The widely followed indicator rose to its 1974 high of 892 in March, then began a perilous saw-toothed decline that seemed almost irreversible (see chart...
...songs. Record reviews often became forays into her private life. At first the publicity had little effect on Joni's writing. She said, "If I express a truthful emotion that is pure and honest, then I consider the poem a success." But when Rolling Stone published a chart of the rock scene showing her suspected lovers, the spotlight became too bright. Joni fled temporarily to Europe. Even now she calls herself a "media dropout" who seldom reads newspapers and never looks at television...

He cracks jokes during recesses, signs autographs, confers at ease with his tart-tongued attorney, John Wilson. Often shouting and showily unimpressed by the judge, Wilson has tried to provoke Sirica into intemperate statements. He seems intent on seeking an unfair trial so a conviction could be reversed on appeal...
...Unlike Saudi Arabia, whose resources are almost inexhaustible (see chart), Iran is expending both its oil and its oil income to create a broad industrial base in the country before the crude begins to run out (1990, by Iranian estimates). That involves a heavy investment in social development, since 40% of Iranians are illiterate. Outside the cities, many live in poverty; about 85% of Iran's land is untillable without artificial irrigation. This year Iran will spend $16 billion on projects ranging from dams to schools to hospitals. By the end of the current five-year plan, the Shah...
Even so, the U.S. lags far behind Western Europe in opening the Communist market. Western Europe's trade with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe is more than ten times greater than that of the U.S. (see chart). Many Soviet citizens now eat spaghetti and breadsticks made in Italian-built factories, drive Fiat-designed autos called Zhigulis, and wear clothes made from fibers spun in a British-designed plant. Soon they will watch color television developed by France's Thomson Co. The West Germans plan to help build a $1 billion steel complex at Kursk, where the Wehrmacht...
