At a recent meeting of the 24-nation Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris, Japan was criticized indirectly for being overly preoccupied with its domestic economy to the detriment of other Asian nations; those countries have grown dependent on Japanese growth for their own prosperity. Fukuda recognizes that Japan can ill afford beggar-thy-neighbor policies. "From now on, we all have to cooperate," he concedes. "But the first priority is stabilizing the situations within each country." Meaning: Japan...
...make such imperialistic endeavor palatable. He says that it is important that South American countries are "healthy" and democratic, and an inevitable aspect of this condition is capitalistic enterprise.

American agricultural policies must begin to take the rest of the world into account. One of the Norwegian delegates in Rome suggested that Kissinger, Butz and other key ministers should be locked up in a room without food for ten days and then...
Miller has played the role of the democratic leader to the hilt, and perhaps to his own detriment. His aides have won the costliest contract (for the operators) in the union's history, provisions guaranteeing miners the right to withdraw from mines they feel are unsafe, pensions of $600 a month, and pay raises of 18 per cent that are a start in alleviating the lapses of the last 40 years, when coal miners fell behind other skilled union members in pay, benefits and everything else...
