Like its ancestor Dada, surrealism was brought to term by young refugees in the cafes of neutral Zurich during World War I, in a clamor of theatrical high jinks, concrete-poetry recitals, chance-based collages and mock rituals. Surrealism became a common ground for bourgeois intellectuals agonized by the futility of their expected social roles. But it smacks of artificiality to confine either Dada or surrealism too closely to any group or period. Some of Picasso...
...ovens and other products made by aggressive foreign competitors, the U.S. trade deficit is ballooning toward $30 billion, about five times the 1976 figure. That has sent the dollar to new lows against such currencies as the Japanese yen, German mark and Swiss franc, and set off a protectionist clamor for restrictions on imports to save American jobs...

At the end of September, Zenith Radio Corp., the largest U.S. maker of TV sets, announced that it would lay off 5,600 American employees within the next year, because of competition from imports...
...call "organized liberty of exchange"-an Orwellian euphemism coined by French Prime Minister Raymond Barre. It means negotiated agreements limiting imports during hard times. An American variant of that idea is the "orderly marketing agreement" (OMA), which is emerging as the Carter Administration's chief response to protectionist clamor...
