Rural Regeneration. Almost every group in the feudal country has some kind of grievance. Workers were promised ten months ago that their minimum wages of 500 a day would be doubled; they have still not received the increase. Labor leaders who protested at the delay were quickly slapped into prison. Peasants, who have traditionally paid up to 75% of their crops as rent to landlords, were overjoyed at the promise of land reform; now the rent goes to the state instead of the hated landowner. In fact, under the state socialism proclaimed by the Dergue, peasants will never have...

The Army is planning to subsidize some capital expenditures of the Birdsboro Corp. of Birdsboro, Pa., because it is one of two remaining plants capable of casting turrets and hulls...
Domingo, and Bluhdorn reassured Coppola that "the rain is good for my sugar cane." It was not so beneficial for Pacino, who caught pneumonia, forcing a month's delay. Principal photography was finally completed in nine months, but the problems had just started. Editing, always a trial, threatened to go out of control. With whole plots altered or dropped, there was substantial doubt that the film could meet its opening dates at the theaters...
