...then, Jones' trilogy setting, the mythical West Texas town of Bradleyville (pop. 6,000), has been put on the map all over the regional theater circuit. This spring Trilogy made the big time at the Kennedy Center, where it entranced Washington audiences for 16 weeks. Indeed, this Southern export traveled so well that Producer Robert Whitehead this week is bringing Trilogy to that island where regional theater always goes when it succeeds: Manhattan...
...economy is the most outstanding feature of West Germany today. Resilient, disciplined, and resourceful, the German economy weathered the international economic recession on a far more even keel than its European neighbors. Like the rest of the export-oriented European economies, it was hard-hit by the downturn in world trade and the quadrupling of oil prices in 1973. Nevertheless, while an 8.5 per cent rate of inflation and a 6.5 per cent rate of unemployment earned Schmidt sharp criticism from the right and the left, these figures were downright enviable compared to the double-digit inflation and widespread unemployment...

On the one hand, the nation's overseas sales of atomic power plants, equipment and services swell U.S. export earnings by a cool $1.5 billion a year. On the other, the proliferation of nuclear reactors can also lead to the spread of nuclear weapons-meaning atom bombs...
Last week the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission opened the debate to the public for the first time. Its concern was anything but academic, since it has to decide whether to approve a license to export 12,261 kg. of Government-owned enriched uranium to fuel a reactor in India. In 1974 Indian scientists used fissionable materials, taken from a Canadian reactor, to build what they called a "peaceful nuclear device." After the bomb was exploded, Canada shut off nuclear aid to India. To keep the U.S. from following suit, the Indian government pledged to use American materials exclusively...
