...there were two other CIA operatives on the embassy staff who were not named. In addition, the students displayed a faked Belgian passport and detailed instructions on how it was to be used with a set of forged immigration stamps to give the appearance that the passport bearer had gone in and out of Iran. The militants said the faked passport belonged to a hostage named Thomas Ahern Jr., who they said was the embassy's narcotics-control officer...
Moscow's anti-missile drive has gone nowhere in West Germany. In West Berlin last week at the convention of his Social Democratic Party, Chancellor Helmut Schmidt said that the Soviet troop withdrawal was "welcome" but firmly reiterated his support of the NATO plan. At week's end the Soviets warned that mere approval of the missile modernization by NATO would kill any chance of talks on trimming nuclear forces in Europe. But the Warsaw Pact foreign ministers wound up a meeting in East Berlin on a more conciliatory, and realistic, note: their communique suggested that such talks...
Before the strike, Ford responded warily to Botha's provocations, and kept him on the payroll despite his repeated absences. Since the walkout, the company has said it will rehire any of the strikers who want to return. Only a minority, however, have gone back to their jobs.

He also suspects that when Lahey was called to the White House in March 1944, the physician...
...days are gone when Saudi Arabia, by far the biggest producer with 30% of the cartel's output, was able to exert a moderating influence. More and more cartel members, and even factions in the royal family itself, view the desert kingdom's traditional support for the U.S., and Washington's repeated pleas for maximum OPEC output at the lowest price, as ultimately damaging to the producing states. Anti-American rioting in Iran has made involvement with the U.S. seem even more unwise. Such oil ministers as Iraq's fiery Tayeh Abdul-Karim and the Emirates...
