LIKEWISE, Indian, the better and more serious piece, runs amuck. Arnold has failed to see that Horovitz was not writing just a sharp TV script about the brutal terrorization of a non-English speaking alien lost in New York. Rather, this play is foremost a work about communication. Joey and Murph, the two violent toughs, are as lost as the Indian. They find themselves in a world where their mothers are whores, love has no relevance to them, and nothing makes any sense. They must step on a helpless creature, if only to prove to themselves that they are alive...
...spokesman for the executive branch (see following story). Harvard's Henry A. Kissinger, a former foreign-affairs adviser to Nelson Rockefeller, was sought to take over Walt Rostow's job as chief staff director of the National Security Council. Kissinger has been the nation's foremost theoretician of "limited war" and flexible response to prevent Communist aggression.

As head of the Secretariat, he traveled to England, Greece, Switzerland and the U.S. to promote ecumenical communication. He campaigned...
...developing nations throughout the world, domestic car production is a foremost symbol of industrial coming-of-age. As a result, the list of auto-producing countries is lengthening, even if many of them make cars only under license with the major manufacturers in other nations. Such arrangements vary widely, from mere final assembly of a vehicle to the production of most parts locally. Manufacturers' labels are often misleading. The Nasr (Victory) sedans of the U.A.R., for example, are in fact Fiats assembled in Cairo. Some countries-for one, Red China, which makes passenger cars named Red Flag and Phoenix...
