...gallon) and rise to a maximum of $500 by 1985. The distribution of such a variety of rebates would doubtless be a burdensome bureaucratic chore. The purpose of the plan is to give U.S. manufacturers time to shift to the smaller models that have long been the province of European and Japanese manufacturers. But foreign-made autos will get no breaks under the Carter program. They will qualify for rebates only if their U.S. sales do not rise...
Predictable Shock. But King Juan Carlos and his Premier had their own reasons for favoring legalization of the party.

In the first round of French municipal elections last month, ecology-minded groups gathered 10% of the vote in Paris and up to 30% in some suburbs, cutting into the totals of losing moderate candidates backed by President...
