...shelters the largest number of foreign agents in Europe, a formidable amount of illegal wiretapping goes on. Curiously enough, all kinds of spying devices are legally on sale in West Germany, but they cannot legally be used or even tested. Some manufacturers protect themselves by labeling their products "for export only...
...about rising food prices, Nixon and Butz quickly reversed farm policy. Prodded by Treasury Secretary George Shultz, an ardent free marketeer, they proposed a new laissez-faire farm policy that would abandon some price supports and reduce other subsidies. They returned as much acreage as possible to production, dropped export subsidies and prepared to "empty" the Government storage bins.

Soon afterward many Americans expressed their delight that the Nixon administration had won its "economic war" with Japan by compelling voluntary restrictions on textile exports to the United States.

The headlines, on this sunny day in 1984, were depressingly familiar. Europe's trade gap was still widening (there was another warning from Brussels that Europe must "export or die"). Enoch Powell, a sprightly 72-year-old eccentric who lived in the South of France, had made a speech in Nice warning, yet again, that Europe would collapse unless something was done about the rising tide of Japanese immigration. There was a new row about sex education. The leading...
