Bölkow today produces a popular helicopter trainer, two light sports airplanes, a glass-fiber glider, thrust-measuring devices, micropumps and a digital data-processing system. It is also...

Britain named coal, lead and zinc, plastic products and many cotton textiles in a list that covered 5% of its imports. Austria, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland offered to slice all their tariffs in half if other nations reciprocate. And a delegate from Czechoslovakia showed up as the only Communist to offer a number of concessions that would align his country with GATT to a limited extent, thus demonstrating the shifting economic winds behind...
