...dispute goes beyond prices. It also involves conflicting ideas of how the Government should help the sugar industry meet foreign competition. The Administration favors direct subsidies; this would keep down prices to housewives and big consumers (including Coca-Cola, which is headed by Carter's old friend J. Paul Austin). But subsidizing low-priced sugar reduces demand for corn fructose. Congress favors sugar import duties and quotas, which would raise prices and help producers of both sugar and corn sweeteners...
...Guardia and Kennedy, Newark, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The controllers, who are entitled to eight free "familiarization" flights yearly on domestic airlines, wanted one "fam flight" on U.S. international carriers.

Eventually God "confirmed that the long-promised day has come...
...same time, Eximbank has been showing new signs of life under President John L. Moore Jr., 48, an Atlanta lawyer who was appointed in 1977. So far this fiscal year, the bank approved direct loans to foreign buyers for $2.1 billion in exports, up from $423 million in the equivalent period a year ago. Last week the bank announced its biggest deal yet: a $732 million credit for the Korea Electric Co. to buy two U.S. nuclear power stations. The project, which will ultimately cost $2.2 billion, will support 56,600 jobs at Westinghouse, Bechtel and more than...
