...industrials down 105 points in the twelve trading days before last Wednesday. Gold shot up $17 an oz., to $243, in five days. The dollar sank and sank, in five days establishing four successive post-World War II lows against the Japanese yen. To Washington's alarm, the dollar fell not only against the strong German, Swiss and Japanese currencies but also against some of the world's weakest moneys?the Italian lira, the Spanish peseta, even the Canadian dollar, which earlier had fallen further and faster than its U.S. cousin...

Last December he replaced the department's chief with San Franciscan Richard Hongisto, a liberal defender of homosexuals' rights, who at first was widely disliked by the police but quickly gained the department's respect. Within months Kucinich fell out with the chief and fired him. Not until last week did Kucinich name a permanent successor.

...years should have helped correct the U.S.-Japanese trade imbalance. This would happen if Japanese exports became more expensive and therefore less attractive to American buyers, thus cutting the cost of U.S. exports to Japan. To some extent, this has happened. For instance, Toyota's U.S. sales fell almost 8% in the first nine months of 1978, partly because prices of new cars were lifted 13.9%.
