...short streets still show the mildly abraded middle-class homes of the past 90 years. The one long block of South Hudson Street still shows black hovels in what seems permanently frozen collapse. No sign of pork-barrel public works or decor (beyond merciful provision for human excretion), no Carter statues yet, no rumors of veiled Saudi peanut takeovers. And any conversation with a longtime resident is likely to reveal that, under some genuine annoyance with the present, the spiritual structures of the past are standing, for better or worse, and straining to survive till Jimmy is a private citizen...
High on the summit agenda was a discussion of how to improve trade relations, specifically a way to resolve the problem of frozen assets held by both sides. A longer-range possibility is that the U.S. might grant most-favored-nation status to China.

Though he helped build General Foods into the world's largest processed food company, with annual sales of $1.5 billion, Mortimer knew his industry's limits.

...death scene with more than $300,000 in cash and letters informing the Soviet embassy in Guyana of the bequest, but abandoned the suitcase of money in the jungle because it got too heavy. The Guyanese government recovered the cash, and the cult's accounts in Panama were frozen. The Justice Department requested that the banks not allow anyone to withdraw the money. Buford's attorney Mark Lane, who once represented the cult, says he also made such a request. Lane denied reports, however, that while he was in Europe last week he tried to collect some...
