...into the seemingly paralyzed efforts to transfer power peacefully from Rhodesia's 271,000 whites to its 6.2 million blacks. Skirmishes between Rhodesian forces and black Nationalist guerrillas are now taking more than 300 black and white lives each month, and all-out racial war is a real danger if negotiations fail. Thus Richard's shuttle has been dubbed by some officials and journalists in southern Africa a safari of salvation...

But to European officials worried by sluggish growth and high unemployment in their home economies, the omnipresence of Japanese products is a clear and present danger to production and jobs. In 1970 countries in the European Community bought $300 million worth of goods more than they sold in trade with Japan. In 1975 the trade deficit was more than $3 billion, and in '76, reckons the nine-nation group, it will exceed $4 billion...
