Kingdom. For many, it has proved an unfortunate choice. In 1968, alarmed by growing racial tensions in Britain, Parliament amended the Commonwealth Immigrants Act in an effort to stem the rising flow of Asians into the United Kingdom. The amended act granted entry permits to only 8,500 Commonwealth immigrants a year and provided a special allotment for only 1,500 British Asians (plus dependents...
THERE are two possible explanations for SMC's evaluation of the state of the movement. It could be, as the radical minority at the conference charged, that the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA)-dominated national SMC deviously railroaded its programs through the convention by controlling the chair and thus the flow of debate, a la Richard Daley. "YSA jammed the conference with its local people." one furious RYM woman told me. "and had them rubber-stamp their liberal. Stalinist bullshit." But the chair, as far as I could see, was impeccably fair in its arbitration and magnificently cool in the face...
...flow of histories and cultures," Lawrence Durrell once wrote of Cyprus, "it has time and time again been a flashpoint where Aryan and Semite, Christian and Moslem, met in a death-embrace." The legendary island of Aphrodite gained independence from Britain a decade ago.

"I had given up hope," each woman says, and from there the dialogues of loving, reassuring cliches go on in strict musical parallel, words and acts in either room echoing within moments in the other...
Managers are scrambling to get the most out of their money. More than ever, they are trying to earn extra income with their cash flow by buying and selling short-term commercial paper. Treasury bills, and Eurodollars -even for a weekend. Financial vice presidents and accountants, always key men in management, are becoming increasingly important. Some companies use creative accounting maneuvers to raise their short-term profits-for example, amortizing over several years costs that in fatter times were simply deducted from profits all at once. "I have never known a period in which clients have made more ingenious suggestions...
