...menace Japan. Reagan's response, in his speech to the Diet: "We must not and we will not accept any agreement that transfers the threat of longer-range nuclear missiles from Europe to Asia." Also, while warning against trade protectionism in both countries, Reagan strongly condemned a "domestic content" bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives before he left Washington that would severely restrict the sale of Japanese cars in the U.S. The bill, said Reagan, is "a cruel hoax. It would be raising prices without protecting jobs." In the unlikely event that the bill passes the Senate...
...number of advertising pages has soared from 535 in 1981 to 1,312 in 1983. Two major reasons for the upsurge: Editor Moffitt's success in appealing to affluent fellow members of the baby-boom generation, and a series of service-oriented features that openly tie editorial content to ads.

If the New York Post often runs trash, then New York offers "classy trash"--to use writer Richard Reeve's description of the magazine's content. Yet Reeves offered that appraisal before Murdoch owned New York. And only a cursory examination of recent New York stories reveals that "classy trash" hasn't been thrown...
...covered--a fraction of an acre up to quite a few acres--is the same as the massive flights of bees. That's all we can see with the naked eye. Now we go to what we can see with the microscope. They contain the same high content of pollen, pollen from plants that are mainly pollinated by insects, from plants all of whose pollen gathered by bees, and from plants which are found, all of them, in South Asia, and some of them found nowhere else but Southeast Asia. The spots also looked at under the microscope seem...
