...Giulio Andreotti. A notable absentee: French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, who boycotted the dinner. Reason: he was piqued that British Laborite Roy Jenkins had been invited to both Callaghan's dinner and some of the summit sessions in his capacity as president of the European Community's Brussels-based commission. Like his predecessors, Giscard is determined to keep the Common Market and its representatives from getting too uppity...
...time he returns to Washington at midweek, Carter will have every right to feel exhausted-but also exhilarated. He could hardly feel otherwise, especially after reading tributes like the one that appeared on the editorial page of the Times of London: "At a time when [West European leaders] face democracy's sternest test since the war, the inspiration of Mr. Carter's confidence, energy and fresh mind is sorely needed.

Japanese inflation, about 9.3% in 1976, is expected to cool to 7.7% or less this year...

The work appeared so outrageous, so incongruent with the accepted character of the author-it chronicled, in obscene detail, his amours with Chinese eunuchs and such European celebrities as Poet Paul Verlaine -that Trevor-Roper felt compelled to investigate the Backhouse background...
