Deficient but Hopeful. Compromising and tough by turns-at one point he threatened not to campaign for the Christian Democrats in next fall's general election-Erhard never ceased pressing for his law. Last week, while Bonn sweltered under heat so intense that firemen were obliged to water the Bundestag roof to prevent it from dripping tar, the 60-year-old Economics Minister finally won the day. The law he got-which provided for a number of permissible cartels including "crisis" cartels and retail-price-fixing rings-was less than he had hoped for. Nonetheless, said Erhard, "with...
...debate on the two treaties, attendance was scant-at one point only 18 Deputies were in the chamber-and the sole outburst of passion occurred in the parliamentary bar, where insulted Communists felled an aggressive right-wing Deputy with a broken beer bottle. Cynics blamed the apathy on the heat which blanketed Paris as well as Bonn, but a more accurate explanation was that everyone knew that the treaties would pass with a comfortable majority.

Ranging the court like a restless panther, Althea had her big game zeroed in with power and precision. Darlene, a former waitress in Montebello, scampered to retrieve Althea's flat-trajectory volleys, but to little avail. Final score...
...express their views vigorously, apply the ideas culled from their readings to the present world of business and politics. Discussions often run over into the exercise room or into the sauna (Finnish bath), where Philosopher Adler last week led a lively argument on justice and charity in 175° heat. Only occasionally do discussions get hotter: one chairman of a large corporation threatened to pull his money out of a bank represented by a glib young vice president who differed with him in a discussion of the profit motive...
...their native island. Last year, when it became apparent that Rongelap would soon be free of danger, the Navy invited a handful of native leaders to come help them plan a new village in anticipation of the islanders' return. It was to include brand new modern houses with heat-resistant, rainproof aluminum roofs, a new school, a new hospital, a church, a radio station, scientifically planted groves of coconut designed for maximum copra production, plantations of papaya and breadfruit seedlings, and a whole new fleet of canoes for the local fishermen...
