...sale to Peugeot will do nothing to reduce this year's losses-a fact that Wall Street was quick to appreciate. Although Chrysler's stock jumped after the announcement, it quickly fell back, closing the week at 12.5. But experts applauded the decision. Said Arvid Jouppi, a top Detroit analyst: "Chrysler's strategy is to become strong domestically and abandon the world market. I would rather have 15% of a strong company like Peugeot than overseas assets that were too heavy to bear...
...worldwide survey by TIME correspondents last week showed that Paul's increased attentiveness to areas beyond the Western democracies has been paralleled by increasing church vigor in those areas. In the First World, attendance at Mass fell dramatically and a shortage of priests afflicted nation after nation during Paul's pontificate. Ideological acrimony still abounds. But Catholicism is reviving in Communist Eastern Europe, the Catholic population in Africa has grown 111% (to 52 million) during the Pauline era, and Latin America enjoys signs of resurgence after a difficult period.

By a vote of 141 to 69, the A.B.A.'s House of Delegates agreed to approve TV advertising, as long as it is "presented in a dignified manner." The decision will probably prod the 43 state bar associations that do not already allow TV advertising...
...tease the bait. Not this one. He had hit with the wallop of a freight train. Mann released the ratchet on the reel to let the fish run. Then, without warning, the line slackened. The broadbill was streaking to the surface. He rose out of the water and fell back with a splash we could hear but not see. The glow of the Cyalume marked him 100 yds. to starboard. We could detect only the eerie green light, which now began tearing across the inky water and around our stern. The swordfish was encircling the boat with line. Mann cranked...
