Summertime-but for Jimmy Carter, the living wasn't easy. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt was arriving in Washington this week for some difficult talks, preceded by the news that Germany had agreed with France, Italy, Belgium and Holland to develop the fast-breeder nuclear reactor that Carter opposes. At home, American Jewish spokesmen continued to charge that Carter was coddling the Arabs. So the President found it prudent to meet with 53 American Jewish leaders and assure them in front of reporters that he wanted an Arab commitment to "full diplomatic relations" with Israel as part...
...hardly know what a Moluccan [June 20] is. I do not know why the Moluccans in Holland are unhappy. I suppose that the recent hijackings by the small band of thugs in Holland were intended in part to attract my attention, to make me curious enough to learn of their complaints and to elicit my support for their cause. However, the repulsiveness of their actions has merely served to reduce to insignificance their cause, no matter how noble it might otherwise be. It is probably unjust, but 1 am certain that a majority of us will never hear the word...
...crowd-pleasing winner-and a new title for an old favorite. Britain's Virginia Wade-"Our Ginny'- had appeared in 15 Wimbledons, always to crumple under the pressure of carrying her nation's hopes. This time, Wade, now 31, fought her way into the finals against Holland's solid Betty Stove, 32, who at 6 ft. 1 in., 160 lbs. is the strong -and slow-journeywoman of the circuit.

...Chris Evert, 22, in the quarterfinals. The record-breaking and-by Wimbledon's well-bred standards-surprisingly rowdy crowds adopted as their darling a 14-year-old, pigtailed Californian named Tracy Austin. The youngest player in the history of the tournament, Tracy convincingly won her first match against Holland's Elly Vessies-Appel 6-3, 6-3. Her curtsy to the Duke of Devonshire might have been gangly legged and selfconscious, but her tennis was graceful and self-confident. She also had the fire to win. The New Chris Evert met the Old Chris Evert in a third...
...headquartered; all the rest are based in Europe, where mopeds have been popular for decades. The biggest makers are France's Motobecane, which has 5 million of its Mobylettes on foreign roads (including Bermuda, as legions of U.S. tourists have discovered); Austria's Steyr Daimler Puch; and Holland's Batavus. All have set up U.S. subsidiaries and are racing to open moped dealerships. Honda, the big Japanese maker of motorcycles and cars, as yet has no bona fide moped on U.S. roads, but it and other Japanese motorcycle makers are reportedly gearing up for American sales...
