...Russians, at this year's U.S. Naval Academy graduation exercises, that they had to choose between confrontation or cooperation, he may have got more of a reaction than he bargained for. In a seeming shift in tactics at week's end, the White House began sending forth signals that it was going to temper its rhetoric in dealing with the East in the hopes of reversing the downward cycle of détente...
...activities). The visitors also see the charred remains of buildings burned during the riots of 1976. Presumably, the tourists also note such sights as unemployed blacks drinking at Soweto's government-sponsored beer halls, or youths-rebellious dropouts from inadequate, segregated schools-furtively passing marijuana joints back and forth on dusty street corners. The object of the tours is to show foreigners that Soweto is "peaceful" again, following the epochal riots that began there two years ago, spread to other townships and eventually killed 618 people. Last week TIME Johannesburg Bureau Chief William McWhirter paid an anniversary visit...
...White Paper setting forth the proposals, the government said that the changes would work only if Canada continued to be "a genuine federation" -meaning with Quebec as one of its provinces. For Canada's 6 million French-speaking Canadians (out of a 23 million population), Trudeau's key proposal is one to entrench a "charter of basic rights and freedoms" in the constitution.

Alarmed, Carter's inflation fighters, led by Chief Economic Adviser Charles Schultze, opposed OSHA'S demands. As a health-preserving but noninflationary alternative, they even came forth with a prototype of a battery-powered mask that appeared to be straight out of Star Wars. It costs only $200 and filters out 99.9% of the harmful particles in the air of a textile plant. OSHA turned it down, arguing that the masks were not really that effective and workers would...
...contemplate how little imagination has gone into this effort. The rudimentary plot is set forth in a gee-whiz script that stops at nothing, including the invocation of prayers, in its pursuit of the cornball. The obligatory beach-riot scene is a crude recapitulation of the one staged by Spielberg three years ago. Instead of presenting fleshed-out characters (and actors like Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss to play them), Jaws 2 is largely populated by nubile teenagers who appear to be graduates of the Mickey Mouse Club of Dramatic Arts. When these kids meet their unsavory fates, one feels...
