...increasingly engaged in a bruising scramble to boost exports. Their efforts have led to a fresh surge of protectionist sentiment. British unions, for example, are demanding stringent import curbs to protect workers' jobs, and in the U.S. business groups are lobbying for limits on imports of shoes and color TVs. Over lunch last week in Brussels, angry officials of the European Community bluntly warned Japanese representatives that they would close the door to some Japanese goods unless the country moves swiftly to reduce its mammoth $4.2 billion annual surplus in trade with Europe.

Historians looking back on American art in the '60s see movements and orthodoxies?Pop art, minimal art, conceptual art, Op art, color-field painting, doctrines about flatness and framing edge, proscriptions, mandates. The categories rattle briskly like punch cards in their slots. Art in the '70s is more polymorphous, less ambitious, harder to sort out.

The pellets are then laced with quantities of sturgeon sperm (for authentic taste), bathed with tannin extracted from tea leaves and stems (for color) and finally given a salty bath (the same preservative used on natural caviar...
...easy to learn. Two players alternate putting reversible plastic disks-white side up for one player, black side up for his opponent-on a board with 64 squares. As the game progresses, each player tries to build up horizontal, vertical or diagonal rows of disks in his designated color-at the same time trying to capture the opponent's rows. A capture is accomplished by outflanking a row, maneuvering to place white disks, for example, at both ends of a row of black disks. When this happens, the row is flipped to the color of the captor, whose next...
