...some kind of Middle East settlement-or, at the very least, a prolonged cooling-off period. For one thing the cease-fire's earliest expiration date is Nov. 5, when the U.N. General Assembly will be in session. That will place strong pressure on both sides to extend it. Moreover, the Russians, who have apparently concluded that further conflict in the Middle East is not in their own interest, have continued to give strong backing to Rogers' effort. One example: after the Iraqis violently criticized Nasser for accepting the U.S. truce proposal, the Soviets summoned a high-level...
...contrary, says Lapides, it causes the bladder to become distended, with its walls taut and blood circulation diminished. This in turn reduces the resistance to infection. Urinary-tract infections may manifest themselves by a burning pain during urination. Eventually, they can involve not only the urethra and bladder, but extend up to the kidneys. They are among the most stubborn and hard to treat of common infections. Penicillin is usually ineffective, and urologists have to rely on other antibiotics or other drugs such as the sulfas...
...Federal Housing Administration, families with incomes from $4,000 to $8,000 can obtain a mortgage on which the Government subsidizes up to 7½% of the 8½% interest rate for the 30-year life of the loan. The Government pays the subsidies to private lenders, which extend the loans. For one recently completed group of $17,500 town houses in Pittsburgh, the buyers (mostly blacks) will pay only $97 a month for interest and amortization on their mortgages; the taxpayers will chip in another $86. In addition, the Emergency Home Finance Act, signed last month by President Nixon...
This somewhat mystifying reluctance to extend the revolt negates the official Bolshevik reaction to the initial uprising-that it was a reactionary plot. It is possible, in fact, that the Soviets believed the Whites were behind it all, particularly in the early days of the two-week revolt when reliable information was hard to come by, when local newspapers were reporting fallacious rebel bombardments of the mainland and, in one case, a sailors' seizure of Petrograd. But it is precisely this spontaneous characteristic of the revolt, its self-imposed locality, its conformity, in fact, with the Bolshevik catchword 'soviet,' that...
...government and private investors so that the prices of all European commodities, including the price of labor, expressed in dollars was extremely low-low enough, that is, to compel most European working people to subsist on diets less nutritious than those consumed in 1939. Marshall Plan administrators would only extend urgent aid to those governments (France in 1948, for example) which agreed, first of all, to subject their population to an austere wages and tax policy. Secondly, these countries were to restrict commercial credit in such a way as to prevent speculation in the value of national currencies...
