...expanded to 110 countries) drew up 17 demands that, if adopted, would thoroughly reorganize the workings of international trade. Some of the proposals are patently impractical, and the U.S. is determined to oppose the "Manila Declaration" pretty much down the line. But UNCTAD Secretary General Gamani Corea, 50, an Oxford Ph.D. in economics from Sri Lanka, would view the conference as a success if it can produce agreement on just two subjects: easing the LDCs' crippling burden of debt, and stabilizing world raw-materials prices...
Agreements of varying efficacy now exist to stabilize the prices of tin and coffee. Secretary General Corea and the Group of 77 want an "integrated program" to cover those commodities and eight others: cocoa, copper, cotton, hard fibers (like sisal), jute, rubber, sugar and tea. They will ask that a $3 billion fund be set up to accumulate stockpiles of each product. An independent group appointed by producers and consumers would be empowered to add to and sell from the stockpiles to keep world prices within a preagreed range...
Larry Coryell and the Eleventh House. Guitarist Coryell has played with the big names in jazz-rock. His album "Spaces" features John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Chick Corea.

Suspicions and resentments between industrialized and developing countries vastly complicate the economic problems; even some of the basic facts are in dispute. The New York Times recently reported that experts from both industrial and less-developed countries-from Algeria to New Zealand-have advised Secretary General Gamani Corea of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development that there is no statistical proof that raw materials prices have failed to keep pace with the prices of manufactured goods over the past 25 years. The implication-unpalatable to the U.N.'s Third World majority-is that the industrial nations have...
...what a varied bunch they are. Corea's group, Return to Forever, favors high, light, sugary sonorities and palpitating Latin rhythms. The six-man combo Weather Report, with Shorter on sax, plays with the sweep and sonic power of a full symphony orchestra. Cobham manages to mass his colors with a big-band kind of majesty yet retain the kind of rollicking spontaneity that a Stan Kenton, say, never was able to achieve. Larry Coryell, whose new band, The Eleventh House, plays a tight, virtuosic blend of traditional white rock and jazz, never attended the Davis conservatory...
