...their own economy-class air tickets-and pay later if necessary. One major evacuation point was Beirut, where hundreds of Americans straggled in from Syria to join 3,000 Lebanon-based U.S. civilians, half of whom clustered on the campus of the American University. Each carried only one 44-Ib. bag, plus two blankets and 24 hours' worth of food. Many women showed up carrying small dogs in large handbags. With the city in blackout, there was a moment of near panic when saboteurs blew up a Shell Oil storage tank several miles away. In the guttering glare...
...TIME'S Julia Child cover story [Nov. 25] reported that the Shallots of the Month Club charges $9 a month for 3/4 Ib. of shallots. Actually, the price is $9 a year for twelve shipments of 3/4 Ib. each. The high price you erroneously quoted has discouraged potential customers. And because the error was copied by a French paper, it has become impossible for us to get shallots from France: their price demands became atrocious, so we finally had to buy shallots from Holland and Belgium...
Taking the Lead. Representatives of the 61 I.C.O. member nations-both producers and consumers-met in London last week to thrash out a solution to the price problems. Because of slack demand, coffee has slipped in the past year from 4310 per Ib. to 3810.

In the four years since the I.C.O. was set up, such klatsches have helped stabilize the market to the benefit of growers and drinkers alike...
...earlier lead in raising prices on tubular products by averages of 2.5% to 3%. At the same time, the price of molybdenum, an alloy agent used in strengthening steel, was raised 3.7% by two leading producers. In view of all the activity, the aluminum increases - ½?10 a Ib. by Alcoa, Alcan, Reynolds, Kaiser Aluminum and Olin Mathieson-seemed almost anticlimactic...
...Trojans play the Irish on Nov. 26, "the really significant throwing teams-the ones that lead the nation in passing-are losers." Parseghian concurs. "What we are after is balance," he says, and balance he's got. Notre Dame's massive defensive line weighs in at 240 Ibs. per man and looks even bigger-mostly because of Tackle Kevin Hardy, a ferocious 270-Ib. junior. Two weeks ago, against North Carolina, Hardy put on an awe-inspiring show of strength: charging right over the lighter Tar Heel linemen, he personally made half a dozen tackles, recovered a fumble...
