...poor fiefdom, a small hunk of downtown territory in an unnamed city that is clearly Los Angeles. Cooper holds court in bars, keeps a small, dusty office in which even the sunlight is encrusted. He is a fixer and a mover: he puts up bail bond, regulates the steady flow of petty crime in the neighborhood. Cooper also has eyes to expand his holdings on behalf of some higher-ups and take over a whole block of abandoned warehouses, where hijacked goods can be left to cool...
...similar views. Citing a study by Willett, Treasury Secretary William Simon told a Senate subcommittee two weeks ago that OPEC surpluses might amount to "only" $200 billion to $250 billion by the end of the decade. Simon's message: the burdens posed for the industrial countries by the flow of petrodollars to the OPEC nations could be more "manageable" than had been thought...

The army's concern was clear: since the October 1973 war, Egypt had received only two shipments of Soviet spare parts. Brezhnev's visit was considered a propitious omen; when he canceled out, the pressure on Sadat resumed...

His toughest action is expected to be aimed at profiteers and hoarders, who have interfered with the flow of relief supplies from abroad. An estimated 30,000 people died of starvation after floods destroyed much of last year's rice and jute crops. The death toll could go much higher if this year's crops should also be ruined. Inflation is virtually out of control; rice has more than doubled...
