Agreements of varying efficacy now exist to stabilize the prices of tin and coffee. Secretary General Corea and the Group of 77 want an "integrated program" to cover those commodities and eight others: cocoa, copper, cotton, hard fibers (like sisal), jute, rubber, sugar and tea. They will ask that a $3 billion fund be set up to accumulate stockpiles of each product. An independent group appointed by producers and consumers would be empowered to add to and sell from the stockpiles to keep world prices within a preagreed range...
Assuming Deep Throat does exist, one way to play the guessing game is to narrow the field by identifying men with access to the kind of information that Deep Throat provided Woodward. Such information ranges from Deep Throat's June 1972 tip that E. Howard Hunt Jr. was involved in the Watergate breakin, to his November 1973 disclosure that there were erasures on the White House tapes.

But since the failed right-wing coups of September 1974 and especially, March 1975, it has become apparent that no consensus exists among ordinary Portuguese on the pace or the methods for the nation's transition to socialism, nor does agreement truly exist yet on the fact of revolution itself. Too many Portuguese, poisoned by the years when the fascist rulers identified all proposals for reform as Communist conspiracies, still identify socialism with atheism and totalitarian government...
...measures had to be taken to deal with public health problems. Small wonder, then, that a member of a mob was rarely convicted for his riotous actions. In the 20th century we have become accustomed to seeing theft and looting accompany mob action, but surprisingly that association did not exist in the 18th century...
