France's business community was showing signs of profound alarm at the prospect. Capital investment has come to a virtual standstill because of business worries about the sweeping nationalization programs advocated by the Socialists and Communists in their ill-named (the two parties still differ greatly as to the details) Common Program. Two weeks ago, the franc took a dizzying plunge on European money markets as a result of what Barre termed "psychological factors explained by political uncertainty...
...difficulty is that Trudeau and Lévesque differ totally on the means to prevent the assimilation of the French?a problem that has dogged Canada ever since British General James Wolfe ended French rule in Quebec with his victory over the Marquis de Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham in 1759. For Trudeau, the safeguarding of the Gallic heritage of Quebec, as well as that of some 1 million other French-speaking Canadians in other provinces,* can and should be done within a tolerant, officially bilingual Canada. For Lévesque, the solution is a homogeneous, independent state where Quebecois...
Dayan insisted last week that he had made no such promise about the settlements, but a U.S. official snapped: "Our notes [from the September meeting] differ." Another Administration official was more blunt. "They're lying," he said. "There's no other way to call it." Sadat was expected to ask Carter to put pressure on Israel to dismantle the settlements.

Opinions on the strength of party divisions differ. Councilor David C. Wylie believes that outsiders make far too much of the differences between liberals and conservatives.

For starters, she notes the liberals have over the years been responsible for maintaining strong rent control legislation in Cambridge. And one of Graham's biggest concerns as a councilor, the issue...
Well, I suddenly found all the parties concerned-Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Israel-starting to quarrel and differ on the procedural papers. Syria said that if this is an American paper, it is a colonial and imperialist paper. If it is an American-Israeli paper, well, it is colonial, Zionist, imperialist-all these descriptions. I felt also, when President Assad sent a special envoy to me, that Syria was not serious at all about going to Geneva. The Soviet Union was starting its own tricks with the Syrians and with the Palestinians...
