Guido Carli found that the temptation to erect trade barriers was at the heart of "the major crisis of the European Community, which is a crisis of political leadership." He argued that the debate over the Community's budget, which has virtually paralyzed it for three years, was "irrelevant" when compared with the trade issue. He said that all the member nations are "behaving contrary to the logic of the Community" by reverting to nationalist, mercantilist policies. Carli described the members as divided into two camps: the protectionists and the free traders. The protectionists include France and Britain, while...
Those three shocking assaults had an almost theatrically pat iconography: Reagan in a business suit, the very picture of the political order; John Paul in his papal robes of immaculate white; Sadat, the erect warrior, in a field marshal's gold-braided blue uniform. All the victims were over 60; each was attacked by a man in his 20s. Raised in suburban ease, Hinckley had just drifted away, aimless and alone, gorging on fast food in rented rooms and fantasizing a love affair with a teenage movie star.

Hot stuff! Then the Shape drills a cute...
...right to thin the Piceance herd from 346 horses to 166. Along with his wife Shirley, 52, and brother Gil, Crawford has spent hours in the garage perfecting the labyrinthine steel pen. He has spent another two days airborne over Yellow Creek, scouting the precise location to erect it. Crawford chooses a gully at the confluence of three trails near a favorite watering spot. His crew toils for a day under a blistering sun erecting the 10-ft.-high cage, securing it with iron stanchions and braces of lodgepole pine, and camouflaging its sides with sage and chimisa bush...
