Another reason for the success of imports is that U.S. automakers have dealt in the small-car market with their left hands. They have done little more than scale down existing models to meet the challenge of foreign competition. Chevrolet's Vega has been a dud; the Chevette is cramped and lacks style, and so does Ford's Pinto, despite its healthy sales. Detroit does share indirectly in the import boom through sales of autos built abroad by subsidiaries or affiliates of U.S. companies. That includes such models as the Dodge Colt, the Plymouth Arrow and the Buick...
...Catholic bishops gathered in Chicago [May 16] again dealt with church matters from the lofty heights of the imperial episcopacy. Their reason for most decisions derives from the paternalistic thought of the Vatican...
...ACSR, after careful study, has adopted the view that a complete withdrawal of American companies from South Africa would not, at this time, be the wisest course (a view which I personally do not share). The ACSR felt that the issues of withdrawal or non-expansion are best dealt with on a company-by-company basis. As Ratner points out, "a few corporations have aggressively challenged apartheid regulations," and these the ACSR feels can often be a positive force for change in South Africa. Other factors the ACSR has considered are employment policies, nature of business (e.g., mining as opposed...
Disillusionment with the societies has dealt them a final blow. Mather House took its biggest loss of the season when it ordered Traffic but could not gather enough people to run the movie the weekend it came. Izkowitz returned the film untouched, but had to pay the $150 rental fee anyway. Usually, most of the film societies operate with a core of only five to ten workers, and several more who will move tables if asked. While it is forbiden to pay members, most of the societies use free screenings and parties to entice prospective helpers. "Unless you have...
Another motif which runs throughout both books is the shocking and unnecessary heavy-handedness with which Israelis have dealt with the Arabs. The fates of two villages, as reported in both books, Deir Yasin and Kfar Kassim, demonstrate the extremes to which this policy could be carried. Deir Yasin has become the well-known rallying cry of the Palestinian resistance; on April 9, 1948, the terrorist bands Lehi and Irgun Zvai Leumi--the latter under Menahim Begin's leadership--massacred some 250 Arabs. But Deir Yasin is merely the most remembered of several massacres that summer which were intended...
