Matter of Faith. At home, Frei faced more immediate problems. Though his Christian Democrats hold a majority in the Chamber of Deputies, he lacks control in the Senate. And last week the balky Senate threatened Frei's whole reform program, including his plan for "Chileanizing" the copper industry by buying into U.S. copper companies. Still, Frei hoped to use the profits of his trip as a lever on the Senate. "The world believes in and hopes for what is happening in Chile," he said last week. "It has faith in our country."

Cities Service badly needs a manager.

...copper-rich central African nation of Zambia is the focus of Japan's most intense trading drive. Last month a twelve-man Zambian trade delegation was swept through Tokyo with a platoon of geishas, even treated to a reception with the Emperor. The Zambians took away their first trade pact with Japan and promises of investments in a fertilizer plant, textile mill, transistor radio assembly plant, steel mill and luxury hotel. For its part, Zambia lifted all restrictions on Japanese imports...
